K–12 School District — Southeast US
The Challenge
A growing school district needed to reduce operating costs while maintaining comfortable learning environments. With aging buildings and outdated energy systems, the district was spending over $1.3 million annually on energy costs. Budget constraints made it essential to find low-cost, high-impact solutions that wouldn't disrupt educational activities.
Our Approach
- District-wide energy assessment - Benchmarked all 12 buildings using ENERGY STAR
- Operational schedule analysis - Identified energy waste during unoccupied hours
- Student and staff engagement - Developed energy awareness programs
- Low-cost/no-cost optimization - Focused on operational improvements first
- Rebate procurement - Secured utility incentives for equipment upgrades
Implemented Solutions
Schedule Optimization
Aligned HVAC and lighting schedules with actual occupancy patterns, reducing energy during holidays and breaks
Plug Load Management
Implemented smart power strips and energy awareness programs in classrooms and offices
Daylighting Controls
Installed daylight sensors in classrooms with southern exposure, reducing artificial lighting needs
Retro-commissioning
Optimized existing HVAC controls and fixed calibration issues across the district
