The ASHRAE Technology Awards are the HVAC&R industry’s most prestigious honor for energy efficient use in buildings and environmental system performance. The Technology Awards recognize outstanding design innovation and successful implementation. Evaluation criteria includes Energy Efficiency, Indoor Air Quality, Innovation, Operation and Maintenance, Cost Effectiveness and Environmental impact.
According to Jeanne Barker, Ed. D, Director of Lenoir City Schools. “ The Tennessee Energy Efficiency Schools Initiative (EESI) has worked with me in Lenoir City Schools over the past 4 years to create a great environment for learning in our classrooms.
Our energy efficiency project has exceeded all projected outcomes each year since our measurement began. EESI staff showed me how to improve our energy efficiency and oversaw the project with our vendor which gave me confidence that the project would be effective. I am proud of the work we have done with this project and to know that we are making a difference in the lives of our Lenoir City Schools family.
” The approximately $5 million project was funded 100% by a 15-year, low interest loan from EESI and was implemented by Trane Energy Services. The energy savings were guaranteed by Trane and are more than sufficient to repay the loan to EESI. Project costs and savings were reviewed in detail and approved by EESI’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC).
Savings were further enhanced by approximately $85,000 in energy efficiency rebates from TVA. “In 2009, while School Superintendent of Putnam County Schools, we started an energy savings competition between schools, installed high-efficient lighting, and encouraged students to monitor light switches and plug loads resulting in utility savings over $1,000,000.
EESI provided the financial mechanism that complimented our efforts to reduce utility cost, enabling us to allocate more money into our classroom learning environment. Deputy Commissioner, Education “ …EESI grants and loans were an awesome catalyst and springboard to help get more people on the energy conservation train.
EESI funded the installation of a Building Logix system to provide real time meter data on all Murfreesboro City Schools. The system has given us the ability to rapidly discover and troubleshoot problems…and we can do an even better job. Thanks for your continued support and interest in Murfreesboro City Schools.
