The Kentucky Energy Efficiency Program for Schools (KEEPS) Energy Management and Training System is based on the ENERGY STAR® program – a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy that promotes cost savings through the use of energy-saving products and practices.

The Kentucky Pollution Prevention Center (KPPC) uses this model to provide a complete package of tools, curriculum, training, coaching and expertise to KEEPS participants.

KPPC also helps KEEPS participants identify and implement low-cost/no-cost energy-savings measures that have short payback periods. Over time, KPPC will help evaluate and determine funding options to implement more complex energy-savings measures with longer payback periods. This approach allows KEEPS participants to ease into the process of reducing energy and saving money through energy efficiency. This also demonstrates the value of KEEPS before the schools invest in more capital-intensive energy-savings measures.
