Our Mission

To promote energy management and resource conservation in schools and throughout the state of Colorado by sharing best practices, engaging in cooperative efforts, building partnerships and skills, and learning about cutting-edge products, technologies, services, and offerings.

Our History

CASDEM was formed in 1998 by a handful of school district energy managers, as an informal networking group. Since then, CASDEM has grown to include about 50 members, and has regular meetings and conferences. In addition, CASDEM works on cooperative projects among members.
