North Carolina School District Improves Resilience with ESPC
As a small district on the coast of North Carolina, Brunswick County Schools' (BCS) buildings are prone to unpredictable flooding and devastating infrastructure damage. The district was unable to afford necessary mechanical and weatherization improvements and was in the process of applying for a loan. Then, Schneider Electric stepped in as the district's partner on a far-reaching Energy Savings Performance Contract.
Schneider Electric installed efficient LED lighting and modern energy management systems, which enabled BCS to reduce energy use and reinvest those savings to improve its facilities. With the introduction of modern HVAC systems and building envelope improvements that can stand up to the humid sea air, BCS was able to improve indoor air quality and provide students with a more comfortable learning environment.
