MOORE COUNTY SCHOOLS
EduCon Energy began a 3-year consulting agreement with Moore County Schools on January 1, 2017. The district includes 23 schools and serves 12,930 students. They have one full time energy manager who enters utility data into Energy Master Pro and conducts routine energy audits at all sites. The energy manager is also in charge of the districts automated controls. Besides savings attributed to reductions in electricity and

The energy manager has worked closely with the Maintenance Department to repair the leaks and also communicated with the water service provider to recoup some of the costs.
