Mansfield ISD Earns Sixth
Consecutive ENERGY STAR Award
Mansfield ISD has earned more than 300 ENERGY STAR building certifications since 2006, more than any other school district in the state.
Mansfield ISD’s conservation efforts
have once again led to the honor an
ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year -
Sustained Excellence Award.
The Partner of the Year Award is
the highest level of recognition by
the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). The award is given to
organizations for adopting energy
management strategies across all of
the organization’s buildings and plants.
This marks the sixth straight year
the district has won the award.
Since the start of the MISD Energy
Management Program in 2012, the
district has reduced utility costs by
nearly $1.6 million a year, decreasing
energy usage by more than 19 percent.
MISD has also cut carbon dioxide
emissions by more than 5,000 metric
tons in 2018 and has saved more than
$10.4 million since 2012.
The MISD Energy Management
Program also educates students
and families about the importance
of turning off lights, closing doors
and turning off water to promote
conservation and sustainability.
“We’re really proud to be
recognized with the ENERGY STAR
Award for the sixth consecutive year,”
said Associate Superintendent of
Facilities and Bond Programs Jeff
Brogden. “The accomplishment
is thanks to the ongoing efforts
of our staff and students to save
energy, money and overall resources
throughout Mansfield ISD.”
In 2017, MISD also earned the
Texas Environmental Excellence
Award from the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality. This was the
first time a school district earned this
award in the category of Innovative
Management and Operations.
The District was recognized at the
ENERGY STAR awards ceremony on
Thursday, April 11 in Washington, D.C.
