Derby ISD, a school district in Kansas, was faced with failing HVAC and steam units, high energy bills, and other maintenance issues that threatened a number of their schools.
Instead of hiring a group of traditional contractors to handle the various projects, they chose Performance Solutions to create and implement a cost efficient program that not only fixed the issues but reduced future maintenance costs.
The Work
Performance Solutions conducted a complete assessment of Swaney Elementary, Derby Middle School and Derby High School.
We developed a program that fixed every maintenance issue, trained staff to follow proper maintenance protocol and guaranteed annual energy savings of $272,665 per year with a total of $3,972,132 over a 12 year term.
Work will include:
- Interior and exterior lighting retrofit
- Water conservation retrofit
- Installing steam to hot water conversion
- Installing steam to Roof Top Unit conversion
- Implementing 300 seats of network-controlled computer power management application
- Building automation upgrades
- HVAC Recommissioning & Maintenance
- Implementation of our Building Intelligence Program on all chillers, boilers, pumps, AHU’s, RTU’s, and Terminal Units
- Analysis of real-time energy and equipment performance
- A Performance audit of all facilities
The Progress
When we agree to a project, we are dedicated to completing it on time and on budget. A project with this scope requires months of hard work and will be completed by December 31, 2015.
As of August 17, 2015:
- Water improvements are complete, district wide
- Lighting is 85% complete
- Steam system replacement is 85% complete
The Benefits
Even though we are months away from completing our most comprehensive program to date, Derby ISD is already experiencing the benefits of comfort and savings.
“We have seen an immediate improvement in building comfort levels,much lower energy bills and, most of all, grateful students and staff.” – Tom Snodgrass, Director of Operations, Derby Schools
