Des Moines Public Schools – Saving Some Green

Des Moines Public Schools is diligently implementing energy conservation strategies to optimize our limited resources. The district’s mission to decrease our overall energy consumption through education and equipment/infrastructure upgrades not only saves money, but also reduces the district’s carbon footprint on our environment.

In order to benchmark our progress, we have developed the Energy Report Card. The interactive report card includes energy facts and information to help students, parents, staff and the community monitor the district’s progress.

DMPS works hard to make energy conservation and efficiency a priority in school renovation. We look at before/after energy costs of our buildings to monitor environmental impact of renovation projects.
