District highlights LED retrofit, centralized HVAC controls as energy-saving facility projects
Summary
Facilities staff described a district-wide LED lighting retrofit and a project to centralize HVAC controls to improve efficiency and reduce energy costs; staff said the controls will enable district-wide setback and optimization functions.
District facilities staff described ongoing energy and efficiency projects that the committee said will reduce long-term operating costs.
Facilities leadership said the district has invested in a multi-phase LED lighting retrofit and in upgrades to HVAC controls. "This new software package will allow us to hit one button and it touches every piece of equipment in the district and says go to setback mode," a facilities presenter said, illustrating how centralization will enable rapid district-wide responses for events such as snow days and help deliver energy savings.
Presenters said phase work also replaces remaining fluorescent fixtures and first-generation LEDs and that energy-management practices already reduce utility costs, with further savings expected from optimization of equipment start times and setpoints.
