Policy 6530 - Energy Management & Conservation


The Surrey Board of Education is committed to the continuous improvement of the district’s energy management performance and to building a culture of sustainability and environmental stewardship through education, equipment upgrades, facility upgrades and behavioral change.
The board believes that it is the responsibility of each district employee and student to participate in energy resource conservation whenever possible.
The board recognizes the challenges and constraints posed by changing variables which include, student enrolment growth, changing provincial and federal programs and expanded community services.
The board’s objectives are:
a) Reduce operating costs through energy efficiency.
b) Minimize greenhouse gas emissions.
c) Minimize the environmental impact of district operations.
Responsible energy management enables the district to support the maintenance of services across the district.
The board encourages and supports the development and implementation of effective energy awareness activities, curriculum, training, and programs as a means to creating a district-wide culture of conservation.
