Recommended Action
That revised Policy I.12.70 – Energy Management & Conservation, be introduced for First Reading and potential approval.

On May 30, 2021, Governor Hogan signed HB630 into law, which requires school systems to have a policy on energy management and conservation and that the policy must (1) address the purchasing, conservation, and efficiency of the school system’s energy usage; (2) report and monitor the amount of renewable and non-renewable energy used by the school system; and (3) set targets for energy use as calculated by energy usage per square foot.

 

To that end, Policy I.12.70 has been revised to include policy statements on purchasing, usage and efficiency, as well as compliance with statewide reporting and data collection in addition to historical data and energy use targets.
