Saving Energy: Public Institutions



Energy Conservation Planning
Section 48-52-620, Code of Laws of South Carolina, requires all state agencies, school districts and public colleges and universities to develop energy conservation plans to reduce their energy consumption by one percent annually during fiscal years 2009-2013 and by a total of a 20 percent reduction in energy use by 2020, as compared to 2000 levels. These plans are to be submitted to the South Carolina Energy Office.

A Sample Energy Conservation Plan has been developed as a guide to assist you in developing your energy conservation plan. This is not intended as a comprehensive, exhaustive list of goals, strategies and actions – but rather examples to help you in formulating your plan tailored to your institution. It can be found below.
