In 2004, Westview School Corporation selected Performance Services to implement Phase I of a guaranteed energy savings project. After seeing significant savings and learning environment improvements, the District partnered with Performance Services for two subsequent project phases, with the most recent completing in 2019. This most recent phase encompassed district-wide LED lighting upgrades to improve the visual experience in addition to reducing energy and maintenance expenses. To further increase those savings, full dimming controls were installed in classrooms to provide enhanced learning environments for students. Additionally, occupancy sensors were installed throughout the buildings to reduce lighting usage when areas are unoccupied. Together, these upgrades from the LED technology will reduce energy consumption by 1,519,389 kWh in the first year.
