“These extra energy efficiency measures will save the district 288,635 kilowatt hours per year, enough to power more than 25 average homes in Idaho Power’s service area.” It’s also creating valuable savings for the district. These extra energy efficiency measures will save the district 288,635 kilowatt hours per year, enough to power more than 25 average homes in Idaho Power’s service area. The efforts also earned the district nearly $60,000 in incentives. Those benefits go beyond the new school. “The savings that Idaho Power provides for us, we’re able to reinvest it into our other schools. A lot of our schools were built in the 50s, 60s and 70s, so we’re using those savings to target retrofits of lighting and energy efficiency in those buildings,” said Reno. An incentive is also available for the third-party architect or engineer that supports the participant with the technical aspects of the project and the required supporting documentation that is necessary to complete the incentive process. The professional is eligible for an incentive equal to 20% of the participant’s total incentive, up to a maximum of $5,000. “We’d just like to thank Idaho Power for their support and their continued partnership because we will add on to this building and look forward to working together on the new addition,” said Reno.
