Opportunity Title:
Clean Green Schools Initiative
Funder/Agency:
NYSERDA
Opportunity Number:
PON 4924
Description:
The P-12 Schools: Clean Green Schools Initiative is available to help public schools that traditionally lack resources to invest in infrastructure improvements become healthier, more productive learning environments. This Program aims to improve the environmental sustainability of those schools by reducing school energy loads, decarbonizing their building portfolio, improving indoor air quality (IAQ), and providing clean energy educational opportunities.
The Clean Green Schools Initiative provides funding in two different tracks:
TRACK I - Planning is open to all and provides funding for professional services such as hiring an energy manager, coordinating an energy study or coordinating an indoor air quality study.
TRACK II - Installation is competitive and provides funding for qualifying construction projects, such as conversion of central heating and/or cooling plants to heat pumps, comprehensive energy efficiency projects and electrification of building system projects.
NYSERDA will be hosting an informational webinar on February 7, 2024. Join us to learn more about the Clean Green Schools Initiative.
