Education - School Building Energy Usage - Monthly Report

HB 66 requires every Maryland county board of education to collect monthly data on energy usage in public school buildings and submit it to the Interagency Commission on School Construction. The Commission must then create rules specifying exactly what data to collect and how often to report it, analyze the collected data, and provide recommendations to counties for improving school energy efficiency. This bill directly affects county school systems by mandating regular energy reporting and analysis, aiming to identify opportunities for reducing energy consumption in schools. It does not change energy standards or funding but establishes a data-driven process for evaluating school building efficiency.
