Senator Shaheen’s visit to Rochester

On Monday, October 5th, Senator Shaheen visited Spaulding High School to review our energy conservation efforts.  We reviewed the two phases of energy conservation projects since 1995. 

The tour also included a visit to the boiler room at Spaulding High School and discussion of our most recent energy measures, a new hot water system.  The new system is 98% efficient using gas to heat hot water for the entire school.  This replaces a full size boiler.  The system will pay for itself in energy savings within one year. 

The Senator spoke with students from the Environmental Science classes.  The students shared their “green” projects and the recyling efforts in the past year. 

The students also spoke about the goal of reducing paper usage at the High School.  This effort has been very successful so far this year.
