Thank you for your interest in the NASEO event, “Improving Energy Efficiency, Indoor Air Quality, and Educational Outcomes in School Facilities: Opportunities for State Energy Office and School Leader Collaboration”, held in Madison, Wisconsin on August 13-14, 2024. This event strengthened relationships and identified shared priorities between State Energy Offices, school officials, and education stakeholders, and presented expert perspectives on directing and stretching federal and state investments. The meeting discussions focused on the unprecedented availability of federal and state financial incentives and programs to construct net zero schools, deploy electric school bus fleets, and conduct energy efficiency and indoor air quality improvements, all helping modernize and reduce operating costs for school districts across the country.
