Florida schools raise efficiency grades with ice bank technology
The St. Lucie County School District (SLCSD) in Florida was receiving failing grades when it came to energy efficiency. The K-12 district had one of the highest energy costs per sq ft out of all school districts in the state of Florida.
With this in mind, the district made a commitment to boost its scores when it came to HVAC efficiency. The strategy employed helped SLCSD save 30% to 40% on utility costs annually — in total, about $5 million in savings to date.
