Local News in Brief : Energy Saving Pays Off
Schools and offices that saved the Los Angeles Unified School District $1.7 million during 1986-87 through their participation in the district’s Energy Incentive Program will receive awards totaling $394,037 in ceremonies at the Bonaventure Hotel today.
Achievement certificates and incentive checks equal to 25% of the dollar savings on electricity, gas and water bills will be presented to representatives of 219 schools that met or surpassed the goal of 10% reduction in use of the three utilities.
The Energy Incentive Program began in 1983 as a pilot project in 20 schools, and was expanded districtwide to 842 schools and offices three years later to encourage conservation efforts by students and employees.
Monetary awards may be used for purchase of scientific materials or for beautification projects.
