Where We Work
Exploring the role of schools in advancing Michigan’s climate goals at the annual Energy Innovation Business Innovators Conference
Michigan has ambitious climate goals. Across the state, schools, municipalities, and businesses are working to meet these goals; strengthening resilience, reducing emissions, and creating local jobs and boosting economic prosperity in the process. At the 14th annual MI Energy Innovation Business Innovators conference, we shared about the exciting initiatives schools across the Midwest are leading to make this happen.
Michigan leaders are ready to invest in healthy, resilient schools
Across the state in Michigan, communities approved $2.37 billion in school bonds, many focused on long-overdue infrastructure upgrades. And with Elective Pay, districts can get up to 50% of eligible project costs back when they invest in energy-efficient ground-source heat pumps and other energy-efficient technologies.
How are school districts funding critical facilities upgrades? Leaders in MI, KY, and WI share their strategies at ASBO International
This October at ASBO International's Conference and Expo, Undaunted participated in two sessions alongside district leaders who are leveraging federal energy tax credits to pay for critical building upgrades.
Supporting Michigan schools on the path to healthier, more efficient buildings
In October, Undaunted met with the Michigan Office of Critical Infrastructure’s Elective Pay Ambassadors to share strategies for connecting with school districts pursuing energy upgrades. We provided guidance on how ambassadors can identify projects eligible for Elective Pay, engage with and support districts navigating the process.
