Education Communities
TEC partners with school districts, teachers, and students to create educational curricula as well as implement energy management policies and practices that save money, improve health, and enhance the learning environment.
Sound energy practices are economically efficient and environmentally sensitive. They benefit employees, teachers and students. Money formerly intended for energy costs can instead enrich classrooms.
Improved energy management directly impacts the learning environment in such areas as better lighting and better indoor air quality. Students who have the opportunity to learn about wise energy use and see it modeled throughout their school form positive energy habits.
The energy leaders and architects at TEC partner with you to design a unique and localized energy plan and policy guidance. We assess and identify energy funding opportunities and foster the cross-sector energy partnerships that bring enduring success.
