City of Austin Features SAS as Green Business Leader
The City of Austin’s Office of Sustainability featured St. Andrew’s as an Austin Green Business Leader in their November newsletter. Read the full article here. The article focuses on St. Andrew’s lighting retrofit, including these key points:
- Since the LED installation in August 2015, St. Andrew’s avoided over 25 tons of greenhouse gas emissions and saved 27,000 kilowatt hours of energy.
- St. Andrew’s estimated that the payback time would take 21 months, but usage data confirms that it actually occurred in just nine!
- Over two years, St. Andrew’s saved close to $3,000 on energy costs, with savings projected to continue.
Congratulations to the Upper School Sustainability Council, and our faculty, staff, and students for working together to make such a positive impact on our local community!
