2022 Efficient and Healthy Schools Webinar Series

Friday, May 6, 2022 | 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM ET

The Environmental Protection Agency invites you to join our partners at U.S. Department of Energy and Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory for a webinar series sharing energy efficiency and indoor air quality (IAQ) best practices to help school districts improve their facilities.  As part of the Efficient and Healthy Schools Campaign, this webinar series provides an opportunity for peer learning and technical exchange among schools and stakeholders.  The campaign provides access to experts, tools, and resources for schools to get started or further improve monitoring and analytics for HVAC performance.

The first webinar in the series, Ongoing Monitoring and Analytics for HVAC Performance, will feature two awardees from the campaign’s recognition program that are also IAQ Tools for Schools Program mentor districts!

• Davis School District, Utah, has been a featured speaker on multiple IAQ Tools for Schools webinars including Green Cleaning for Improved Health: The Return on Investment of Green Cleaning in Schools, All in for IAQ Preventive Maintenance: Key Strategies for Training Staff and Communicating Success, Insights from the Experts: IAQ Preventative Maintenance Today for Healthy Green Cleaning Tomorrow, and Cleaning for Health: Proactive Plans to Effectively Clean and Promote Healthy IAQ in Schools.
• Adams 12 Five Star Schools, Colorado, is an EPA IAQ Tools for Schools Champion District and former IAQ Excellence Award winner.

Presenters will also include campaign staff and technical experts, who will share best practices for using energy management and information systems (EMIS) to improve HVAC performance and operation through fault detection and diagnostics, benchmarking, and commissioning.

The Efficient and Healthy Schools campaign is an effort led by the Department of Energy with support from Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory and EPA as an organizing partner. The campaign is aimed at engaging K-12 schools in effort to improve energy performance and IAQ with, a particular focus on practical solutions involving HVAC and other technologies to reduce energy use and carbon emissions.  This approach of Integrated Energy Management is also one of the seven technical solutions to common IAQ issues listed in the Framework for Effective School IAQ Management.
