One of the bills, H.R. 4092, would establish an office within the Department of Energy to coordinate federal, state and local programs to help schools become more energy efficient. Lawmakers said that schools spend $6 billion per year on energy, second only to personnel costs.

"Well-designed energy efficiency and renewable energy can reduce or stabilize these costs," said Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.).

Members of both parties said the legislation would make it easier for schools to navigate the programs within one office, instead of across all levels of government.
