Profile created 4/12/10 Updated 1/9/16, 4/10/17 Update January 2012: Most trailers removed as part of the past energy conservation processes put into effect by Administration. The following schools have (or had) trailers due mainly to building capacity / student population. Assumption is that all heating / cooling is electric and controlled manually by individual thermostats within each trailer as they are used teaching purposes. 42 in 2009. Trailers are meant to be temporary so these numbers maybe subject to change at any moment. Building 2 new schools Kettle Run HS and Greenville ES may have reduced the overall need for trailers in Fauquier County Public Schools. Based on historical data there are 42 trailers of different sizes / layouts in 8 schools. From high to low (quantity by school type): HS - (13) 10,584 square feet Liberty HS - (10) 15,072 square feet Fauquier ES - (6) 4,900 square feet Grace Miller ES - (4) 3,408 square feet PB Smith ES - (4) 3,408 square feet Pierce ES - (2) 1,728 square feet Ritchie MS - (2) 1,728 square feet Warrenton MS - (1) 864 square feet Taylor Estimated cost (complete details not available) is 108,720kWh / $10,413 / year for the 6 modules at Grace Miller which equals $1,735.50 / unit, or $72,890 / year. Note: Estimate increased to $75K per annum based on additional feedback / data Total square footage for all 42 units is 41,292 which equals an additional (small) school with 42 rooms (compares in size to a Middle School) and cost wise on an annual basis is comparable to Claude Thompson Elementary School. Trailers are inherently inefficient with respect to energy used for heating / cooling which is confirmed by these numbers when compared to permanent structures.

Fauquier County Conservation Roundtable (FCCR) meets quarterly and on April 23 2012 the keynote speaker was Michael Rainger. His presentation included a 5 year history of conservation / sustainability efforts for Fauquier County Virginia with a theme of Finite Energy Conservation / Renewable Technologies leading to more sustainable communities with links to disaster recovery from natural events.

A discussion ensued around accurate / direct taxpayer cost savings bench marked on prior high year energy costs (FY09) and true cost avoidance when electric power utility rates and surcharges combined with other fuel expense increases are averaging around 10% per year (FY05 to FY09 normalized for weather and 2 new schools coming online).

2017 update?

Last updated April 10, 2017

Some items from the 2010 external maintenance "review / audit" (by external volunteers working for free) corrected

Here are some of the completed projects / highlights:

1) School signs standardized / replaced and incorrect spelling of "Buses" removed (Liberty)

2) Walk / bike to school project receives grant to improve access paths under busy Rt.29 (Mary Walter)

3) Crossing signs improved with flashing 25mph lights

4) Pilot project to retrofit efficient lighting systems completed summer of 2011 (P B Smith)

5) Energy costs / per unit usage remain relatively constant for FY10 - FY12 (FCPS) saving $500K per year since FY09

6) FHS renovation / new building in progress with geothermal. passive solar and efficient lighting systems under construction (LEED certified)

7) Local businesses support nature walk at Greenville elementary

8) Student maintained gardens flourish at some schools (update list please for 2017? send details to community@er-li.com )

9) Energy workshops completed (FCPS Human Resources for shared services, Town of Warrenton Library, Executive team, etc.)
