Project Description
After conducting a preliminary facility improvement study for Penn Harris Madison Schools, Performance Services identified several learning environment issues including high CO2 and humidity levels, temperatures with trouble maintaining set point, and high classroom noise levels. A direct result of obsolete control systems and system components that exceeded their expected useful life, Performance Services identified solutions that allowed each school to significantly reduce energy usage and create optimal classroom learning environments.
Project Highlights

- Installed high-efficiency boilers
- Rebuilt cooling towers and converted to variable volume
- Replaced electric water heaters with gas
- Replaced under-sized ventilation units with new heat recovery make up air units to increase air quality
- Installed CO2 sensors to measure and ensure levels are below 1000 PPM with outside air dampers at minimum position
- Upgraded obsolete controls to open protocol system
