William Blount High School
Poor indoor air quality was negatively impacting the learning environment while utility costs were increasing. William Blount High School’s existing HVAC system was aging. There were moisture and humidity concerns, and space temperatures were inconsistent throughout the 180,000 square foot school. Much of the existing HVAC systems consisted of the original units installed when the school was built in 1978 and the Building Automation System (BAS) was obsolete. Energy costs were rising due to a stressed building envelop. The school had a limited budget and wanted the upgrades complete by the start of the 2020 school year.

University of Central Missouri
In the spring of 2009, the University of Central Missouri (UCM) embarked on a $36.1 million energy savings contract (ESCO) with Trane. The ESCO addressed $20 million in needed but deferred maintenance, and $16.1 million in energy efficient upgrades on the campus. Construction was scheduled to last through the spring of 2011, but the project will be completed in the fall of 2010, six months ahead of schedule. By June of 2010, 100 percent of the lighting retrofits were complete and the geothermal heating/cooling system was fully operational. These projects have already generated $500,000 in energy and operating cost savings before project completion.
