The Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) is topping the charts when it comes to saving energy!
They ranked as the most energy efficient school board in the 2024 Top Energy Performing School Boards Report: Sustainable Schools. This 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, HCDSB was identified as #1 out of 72 school boards in the province. They were third in the 2023 report.
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.
