We are excited to share that the Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) has been ranked as the most energy efficient school board in the 2024 Top Energy Performing School Boards Report: Sustainable Schools! The report is based on publicly reported annual data for the September 2021 - August 2022 school year.
Since 2007, Sustainable Schools has worked with school boards across Canada to build the knowledge and practice of energy efficiency and conservation. The Top Energy Performing School Boards Report is released annually to analyze the energy use of Ontario's 5000+ schools in 72 school boards.
In the 2024 report that was unveiled last week, HCDSB was identified as #1 out of 72 school boards in the province. After being ranked third in the 2023 report, HCDSB has climbed up two places to reach the number one spot.
As per the report, HCDSB rankings are determined by comparing actual energy use to top-quartile (pre-pandemic) energy targets for the approximately 5,000 elementary and secondary schools and other education facilities in the province.
Sustainable Schools provides insights and identifies key opportunities for greenhouse gas emissions reductions that have high social, environmental, and economic impact and return on investment.
Thank you to HCDSB staff, educators, students and community partners for your efforts in keeping our schools eco-friendly.
