The NYS School Facilities Association maintains a valuable, long-standing partnership with the NYS Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). This collaboration has yielded numerous benefits for our members and school districts across the state, including:
Educational Excellence: our partnership has produced high-quality energy-related education programs, including the comprehensive Building Operators Certificate program, equipping facilities professionals with cutting-edge knowledge and skills.
Cost-Saving Initiatives: NYSERDA-supported initiatives like the Energy Benchmarking Program help schools identify opportunities to reduce energy consumption and lower operational costs—critical advantages for Northeast schools managing limited resources while facing substantial energy expenses.
Ongoing Professional Development: NYSERDA experts regularly present at our conferences and join us as co-presenters at educational events throughout New York State, ensuring our members stay informed about the latest energy-saving technologies and practices.
Our Association’s Energy Committee comprises knowledgeable industry leaders dedicated to statewide collaboration among numerous partners and stakeholders. These professionals work tirelessly to provide direct support to our members, helping navigate the unique energy challenges facing Northeast schools.
