Several Hart School District campuses are being retrofit in a project that is guaranteed to pay for itself over the next few years.
Alliance Building Solutions is upgrading to energy-saving lighting, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and advanced battery storage at Arroyo Seco JHS, Rancho Pico JHS, Rio Norte JHS, Sierra Vista JHS, Bowman HS, Canyon HS, Valencia HS, the Admin Center and the Maintenance & Operations building. ABS is guaranteeing the district will realize greater cost savings than what is being paid for the retrofit.
“The Hart District is always looking for ways to reduce costs and improve operating efficiencies for the long term,” said Governing Board member Steve Sturgeon. “Prop 39 is the catalyst to make this happen with respect to energy saving components across the District schools. All projections indicate long term savings with the retrofit of current state of the art technologies for our aging equipment.”
The advanced battery storage has a converter that will sense when a school’s energy usage nears peak load and will automatically reduce electrical consumption. This will keep the usage down at a lower rate range with Edison.
“Prop 39 provides state money that is being used for this project,” said Carle Manley, Director of Maintenance & Operations for the Hart School District. “Over the next few years we will see that money coming back to the district in savings.”
