(NAPSI)—When it comes to education, where children learn can be as important as what they learn. Why? The physical condition of an actual school building affects the bottom line for every school. Money spent to heat or cool a poorly maintained school building is money that could instead be directed to student needs, such as more books or teachers.
The math doesn’t add up. Take one example: California. It has the largest school system in the country and more than half of the state’s school buildings are at least 30 years old. California school districts spend approximately $700 million each year on energy.
