| Energy Savings Benefits |
Government agencies in the United States spend billions of dollars a year on energy. For America's primary and secondary schools alone, the annual energy cost is a staggering $6 billion – more than is spent on textbooks and computers combined.

| Energy Savings |
Although energy prices and consumption profiles vary regionally and building to building, savings of up to 30% can be achieved by installing an energy management system. Generally, energy accounts for 2% to 3% of the school budget. HVAC alone can account for 40% to 60% of that expense. Most schools and other public buildings are typically in the range of 10,000 to 250,000 square feet and have no building automation or energy management. They are typically occupied only 40% of the time, while heating, cooling and lighting 24/7. Enforcement of energy policies can result in annual saving of $7,000 to $150,000 per building, depending on the total square footage. Typical payback is realized within two years. To develop a savings estimate for specific buildings or portfolio, we recommend contacting Millennial Net about an energy efficiency opportunity assessment.
Communities need an answer for energy management across public buildings. A broad-based energy conservation program can be facilitated to gain visibility and control across all the buildings with limited capital costs….the Millennial Net Energy Management System.
