    The document discusses improving energy efficiency in school buildings through good design and operation of building systems. It describes technologies like controls, low temperature boilers, heat recovery chillers, smart lighting, and occupancy sensors that can reduce utility bills by 25% while improving indoor air quality. It also presents "Tom's 50-70-95 Axiom", which notes that fresh air is essential but accounts for 50% of cooling costs, 70% of heating costs, and 95% of humidity problems, emphasizing the importance of ventilating only when occupied. The goal is to save money through energy efficiency improvements and optimize the learning environment.
