The objective of this guide is to provide organizational and technical information for integrating energy and highperformance facility management into existing O&M practices. The guide allows users to adapt and implement suggested O&M strategies to address specific energy efficiency goals. It recognizes and expands on existing tools and resources that are widely used throughout the highperformance school industry.
