Kenton County Schools

About

Energy management is a critical component of the Kenton County School District’s mission.

The District’s unique concept of energy management goes beyond just the physical elements of the buildings and recognizes the need to develop a future labor force capable of meeting the anticipated demand for “green collar” jobs over the next twenty years. Their national award-winning energy management approach has propelled the School District into the upper echelon of environmental leadership.

Location

Located in Erlanger, KY the Kenton County School District is in lock-step with ENERGY STAR, KEEPS, and KY NEED in their 18 school facilities. The school system works in partnership with the energy managers from Innovative Energy Solutions and they use our building management solutions to monitor, control, analyze, and track the performance of their buildings.

Energy Solutions
