Energy Association of Iowa Schools
The Energy Management, Radon Reduction and Environmental Health Champion for Rural Schools
Helping Iowa Schools Refocus Budget Dollars on Student Learning and Safety
As energy costs continue to go up and student enrollment shifts away from most rural schools, Energy Association of Iowa Schools (EAIS) is here to help. EAIS is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that believes in helping Iowa schools proactively save budget dollars while providing safe and energy efficient facilities for learning. EAIS provides schools with unbiased, ongoing energy and radon coaching, professional development, rebate and grant connections, and ESSER support. EAIS helps schools focus their budget dollars directly on student learning and safety.
Radon Testing in Schools
Did you know that radon testing is currently required for Iowa’s Voluntary Preschool Programs for Four-Year-Old Children? EAIS believes all students, staff and community members deserve to be safe from radon-induced lung cancer. EAIS helps Iowa schools save taxpayer dollars by affordably and accurately testing for radon themselves. Learn more about how to stay ahead of radon testing requirements with the School Radon Training & Support System©.
Energy and ESSER Support
Through building-specific energy coaching, building operator professional development and connections, EAIS and member schools collaborate to identify priority energy conservation projects that improve school buildings, reduce electricity/kilowatt hour usage and natural gas/therm usage, and save General Fund dollars. EAIS has recently added ESSER ventilation improvement support for members. Learn more about EAIS membership.
