The School Renewal component of the BSP
solution model focuses on the physical renewal of board
facilities. The objective is to help overcome the school
renewal funding gap that exists in most boards and to
advance school renewal in four ways:
- Through creative strategies to leverage the boards existing school renewal plan;
- Through the reduction of energy waste;
- Through the structuring of financial models to maximize renewal funding;
- Through access to external resources to deliver viable renewal improvements.

There are two BSP solution components that are
directed primarily to physical school renewal:
- The Asset Management component, which is
designed to help board's get a better handle on the condition
of their asset portfolios and manage their resources. In
this way, boards can improve the quality of the learning
environment and enrollment.
- The Energy Management component, which is
designed to turn the problem of rising energy costs into
an opportunity for school renewal.
Through energy savings and the Recapp Model,
which is used to generate workable asset solutions, many school
boards are utilizing asset- and energy-management options
to generate funding. Boards also benefit from the Recapp Model's
maintenance capital plan. The end result is a new source of
financing for essential school-renewal projects, many of which
have been deferred for a significant period of time.
