Woodson USD 366 Turns to ESP for Indoor Air Quality and Energy Savings

Woodson USD 366 selected Energy Solutions Professionals (ESP) as their partner to develop a plan to address over $1,200,000 in facility repairs and improvements, including enhancements to indoor air quality (IAQ) designed to improve the safety of classrooms for students, teachers and staff. A key desire for the District was to develop a plan that could combine existing budgeted funds with energy and operational savings to pay for the needed upgrades, rather than us­ing a bond issue to ask local taxpayers for additional money.

“With the improvements ESP installed throughout our District, our facilities are set to operate safely and efficiently for the next 10-15 years, without the need for a bond issue,” stated Dr. Steve Pegram, Superintendent.

Implementing the energy-saving upgrades will cut District utility bills by 30%. The project includes needlepoint bipolar ionization devices to clean the air, new LED lighting, water-saving fixtures, sealing air leaks, building controls to operate equipment more efficiently, a new chiller, upgrades to walk-in freezers, multiple HVAC improve­ments, motor upgrades, finish work to replace ceilings, painting, and energy conservation training.
