buildings over 50,000 square feet will be required to post their energyand water consumption annually into a Portfolio Manager to generatea "Statement of Energy Performance". This is the web application thatwas created by the EPA and Department of Energy and has grown tobe the accepted system for this type of application. The process willrequire energy data, building characteristics and use attributes to beincluded with the web application. Click here for the complete bill.

Keep Students and StaffHealthy This Cold andFlu Season

Your schools depend on healthy teachers and students. Here aresome tips on staying germ-free this season:

Wash your hands often and thoroughly, and dry them with apaper towel. Using towels kills 77% more germs than not.

The common cold accounts for 22 million lost school days peryear nationwide. Teach students to avoid putting their hands intheir mouth or nose. This is the fastest way to spread germs.

Make tissues and hand sanitizer readily available in yourclassroom. Encourage students to use both often throughoutthe day, especially before mealtimes.

Discourage sharing food or drinks.

Install hands-free motion-activated dispensers in restrooms andpublic areas to reduce germs spread when getting papertowels, soap or hand sanitizer.

Clean you classroom often, wiping down all hard surfaces withdisinfectant. Cold and flu viruses can live up to 24 hours onhard surfaces like desks and textbooks and up to 3 hours onskin!
