VCS celebrates the completion of the Phase I district-wide energy savings initiative to optimize energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and advance sustainable practices. This initial phase is projected to generate $7,605,864 in guaranteed savings over the next 12 years, enabling VCS to reallocate significant operational funds back into classrooms and student-focused programs.
Phase I of Valparaiso’s energy savings project introduces multiple sustainable technologies, from solar energy installations to advanced LED lighting and high-efficiency boilers. This initiative not only slashes utility costs but also enriches the learning environment for students and staff.
"This project represents more than just financial savings—it is about creating a learning environment that reflects our values of sustainability, responsibility, and forward-thinking. We are excited to see the positive impact it will have on our students and staff, as well as the broader Valparaiso community. This energy savings initiative is an important step in ensuring that our district continues to thrive in a way that is both economically and environmentally responsible," said Dr. McCall.
