Local School Turns to Technology to Reduce Costs and Conserve Resources
July 9, 2014, Sacramento, California, USA – Elk Grove Unified School District (EGUSD), the 5th largest school district in California, has successfully implemented The EGUSD Energy Conservation Program. Consumes River Elementary School (grades K-6, 506 students) took the challenge and, working with GenEon Technologies, was able to successfully implement a program to utilize renewable technology solutions for cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting while reducing costs and water usage. Their solution also eliminated the use of toxic chemicals, creating a cleaner, healthier, and SAFER environment for students and staff.
