Geert Aerts, resource conservation manager for the Washougal School District, inspects a fan motor for the main gym at Washougal High School. The district has saved $48,831 from energy improvements, after expenses.

Thanks to several energy efficiency improvements at Washougal schools, the district has saved approximately $78,000 in energy costs from July to December. After the cost of the improvements, the district has trimmed $48,000 from its bills.

And that’s one budget reduction that makes administrators very happy.
