The Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance Inc., a non-profit organization, was awarded a $2,800,000 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy under the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Information Dissemination, Outreach, Training and Technical Analysis/Assistance program (CFDA 81.117). The funding will support a two-phase project to transform facilities across the Marion County School District. In Phase 1, the organization will conduct ASHRAE Level 2 energy audits on all schools and develop a strategic plan to prioritize energy improvements, access private funding, and realize health and safety benefits. Phase 2 will then implement the identified energy efficiency upgrades, directly advancing measurable goals for energy savings and health/safety improvements. This work aims to address significant deferred maintenance issues and lower utility consumption in the school district's facilities.
