Ichabod Crane Central School District
10% Improvement (2006)
Top Performer (2006)
20% Improvement (2008)
The Ichabod Crane Central School District (ICSD) educates approximately 2,300 students across five school buildings. The district has demonstrated more than a 20 percent improvement in energy efficiency since June 2005 and has achieved Top Performer recognition for an average EPA ENERGY STAR energy performance rating of 75 or better portfolio-wide. The district has also prevented more than 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions from entering the environment. More specifically, ICSD has reduced its total electricity use by 27 percent and its total fuel oil use by over 23 percent, resulting in more than $125,000 in cost avoidance for the 2005 - 2006 school year alone. The district attributes these significant reductions to the cooperative efforts of more than 350 employees committed to improving energy efficiency in daily operations, as well as Operation and Maintenance department employees who optimize energy efficiency in all mechanical systems, comfort systems, and lighting schedules inside buildings and on the grounds. Four of the five schools in the district have earned the ENERGY STAR.
