Project Description
Garrard County Schools in Lancaster, KY was looking to implement solutions to address their facilities’ energy and operational savings, maintainability, and learning environment needs. In 2017 the District partnered with Performance Services to improve the energy efficiency of their 11 buildings, address their aging systems, and improve the learning environment for students and faculty. Implementing a 20-year guaranteed energy savings project, Garrard County Schools saved $151,102 in the first year of operation after the project, measured and verified savings that exceeded the guarantee by 44%. Energy use (EUI) per square foot reduced by 34.2%.
