Energy Conservation
SITE IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Brown Middle School
Upgrades to Brown’s aging HVAC systems and building envelope (roofing replacement, upgraded roofing insulation, new skylights and windows) produced cumulative savings of over 600,000 kWh in electrical energy usage, and natural gas savings of over 14,000 therms since winter 2018, after the first bond projects were implemented.
Brown Middle School expects to continue the benefits of energy efficiency in years to come. While the differences may not be as dramatic when 2023 becomes the new baseline, the school is avoiding the potential additional utility costs (and equipment degradation) that it could have experienced without these energy-efficient investments.
