A $20,000 grant will be used by St Gabriel’s Catholic School toward the cost of a new Incenergy Energy Management System that automates heating, ventilation, and air conditioning operation, boosts efficiency, reduces power use and cuts costs.
San Juan Diego Catholic High School will use its $20,000 Duke Energy Foundation grant to enhance its Corporate Work Study Program that provides students with weekly opportunities to build valuable skills in corporate work settings in the Austin area.
St Gabriel’s Catholic School head Steve Balak said on so many levels, the Duke Energy Foundation grant will enable St Gabriel’s to achieve valuable energy savings, be responsive to the needs of its community and the environment, reduce maintenance costs, and eliminate wasted staff time adjusting thermostats.
The Duke Energy Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Charlotte, North Carolina-based Duke Energy.
The foundation provides financial support for communities where Duke Energy employees work and live, and it supports the volunteer efforts of company employees and retirees.
