Walworth County Wisconsin’s Big Foot School Board recently took a closer look at their new energy policy and its results at a Board meeting last month to see how efficient the policy has been for the year. The school district’s energy savings policy included a $600,000 loan to bring boilers, lighting and control up to date with energy savings standards; the Board expected to pay the loan off using savings from utility bills.

Although the district’s gas and electric bills did reduce in the past year, it didn’t decrease as much as expected. However, a few representatives from Complete Control Inc. (the company that brought the new energy policy forth), confirmed that savings were reduced but it wasn’t as noticeable due to rising costs in energy and increased demand for gas. Also reported was a savings of $95,994 judging on the previous year’s electric and gas bills, as well as an estimate of deferred maintenance cost (as boilers would not have to be constantly repaired) which came to an additional $80,000.
