District receives energy efficiency grant

District receives energy efficiency grant
Walla Walla Public Schools received a $380,000 state energy efficiency grant to help pay for a new energy management system at Blue Ridge Elementary and lighting retrofits at Blue Ridge and Prospect Point Elementary Schools. The total cost of this project is approximately $950,000. The district estimates it will save $30,000 per year in utility fees from these upgrades.

The district will now apply for additional energy efficiency grant funds to offset costs for a new boiler at Pioneer and other energy projects. The district reinvested the under budget funds from the Edison construction project to successfully secure these match required grant funds. District funds must be used as a match in order to apply for these state energy efficiency grants.
