Prop S Earns “Special Achievement in Energy Education” Award

The district’s Proposition S Program was honored by the California Center for Sustainable Energy at its sixth annual San Diego Excellence in Energy (SANDEE) Awards on March 25. The program earned the award for the installation of “an energy-efficient air conditioning system and improved occupant comfort and indoor air quality” at EB Scripps Elementary. Using Prop. S funds, San Diego Unified decided to install a new air conditioning system at EB Scripps that could serve as a prototype for future air conditioning installations in district schools located within the hot, inland area (designated as Zone Three). The annual energy savings estimate could be as much as $15,000- $20,000. For more information, please contact Evan Leslie, project management supervisor, at (858) 637-3513 or eleslie@sandi.net.
