Trane honors WI school district for energy improvements
Trane presented its Energy Efficiency Leader Award on Aug. 28 to the Racine Unified School District in Racine, WI. The district will be saving approximately $150,000 in annual utility and operations costs thanks to facility upgrades at four middle schools and 11 elementary schools. The upgrades were implemented by Trane and funded with a performance contract, which avoided any tax impact to the community.
“We’re pleased that we could improve the learning environment without adding a tax burden for the district,” said David Hazen, chief financial officer of Racine Unified School District. “It’s even better that the improvements increase the district’s overall sustainability — making the district environment better for all our residents.”
