Florence Unified earns “Energy Star K-12 District Award”
On February 12, the Florence Unified School District received the “Energy Star K-12 District Award” for being one of the most energy efficient school districts in the state. Energy Star is a national performance benchmark for building energy efficiency that helps building owners compare energy usage in their building to similar buildings nationwide. Buildings receive a rating of 1 to 100, with 50 indicating average. Schools with 75 or higher qualify to win the award.
Three schools in the Florence Unified School District scored 100 (Anthem K-8, Florence K-8, and Circle Cross Ranch K-8). There were only 5 schools state-wide with a score of 100.
Florence K-8 was awarded the 2014 Kilowatt Krackdown Award as the most improved school in the Energy Star competition. They will receive this award on March 18th at 11:30am at the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Phoenix.
