A $150,000 School Master energy management system (EMS) saved the Atlanta school system $250,000 and paid for itself in eight months by reducing electricity and gas consumption by 30% and 37%, respectively. The EMS includes a central processor and a remote stand-alone processor for each of 14 schools. A DOE matching grant cut the $303,000 cost in half. Monitors with automatic dial-up alarms have improved maintenance at each school. (DCK)
