In most school districts, utility costs are second only to salary as the greatest expense. The Governor’s Energy Office (GEO) can help schools reduce their energy costs and allocate the savings toward improved facilities and academics.

In 2007 Governor Ritter signed House Bill 07-1309 requiring GEO to improve energy efficiency in all Colorado schools. To accomplish this directive, GEO has developed the following exciting programs:

  • The Performance Contracting Program to serve existing facilities
  • The High Performance Building Program for new facilities

A public elementary schoolGEO is currently seeking schools that are interested in partnering to make energy improvements in school buildings. Interested parties are invited to submit a K- 12 Schools program partnership interest form found on the Partnership Opportunities page.
