EnergySmart Schools Tips: Retrofitting, Operating, and Maintaining Existing Buildings
US Department of Energy
Combining preventative operations and maintenance (O&M) with strategic retrofitting of building systems improves a school's energy performance. For schools with limited resources and experience, "quick wins" in O&M and retrofitting provide a valuable starting point to energy management. As a next step, strategically prioritizing long- and short-term measures produces overall returns on investment. This paper offers energy-efficient tips for retrofitting, operating, and maintaining existing buildings.
