Green School Works Implementation grants provide K-12 public schools with funding to implement projects that improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, or mitigate the impacts of climate change. In June 2025, a total of $52.5 million was awarded to 18 schools for capital projects with energy efficiency, decarbonization, and/or carbon emissions benefits.
The Green School Works Monitoring and Analysis Consultant (“Consultant”) selected through this RFP will assist MassCEC in assessing the impacts of these implementation projects (e.g. energy efficiency and savings, reductions in fossil fuel use, resiliency improvements, emissions savings, cost savings and effectiveness, indoor air and learning environment quality). Further, the Consultant’s analysis will inform which decarbonization measures could be best scaled throughout the Commonwealth, as well as barriers for scaling decarbonization and strategies to overcome such obstacles. The Consultant may suggest additional monitoring and analysis that would contribute to accelerating school decarbonization in Massachusetts.
