Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle Creates a 100K in Savings

Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle saves FKCC $100K a year by getting the staff to turn out the lights!! Can you imagine how much money we can save through simple measures like this applied at home, in our workplace, in our public buildings....

OK, maybe it was a bit more than turning out the lights, but not all that much more. Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle, started through a simple communications to all employees asking for their help in conservation measures, turn out the lights, turn off computers, etc.. The maintenance team incorporated an energy check into their rounds and at the end of the day all student computers were turned off.. Beyond these simple manual measures, timers were incorporated on public TV's and lighting sensors were used in public area's. Over time light bulbs were replaced with more efficient lighting and new energy efficient equipment was phased in. Even the shower were fitted with water conservation shower heads, which were provided for free from the County Water Authority.

None of these changes are hard or expensive, and yet clearly they are effective. Keep up the good work Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle.
