Bullitt County Public School
Building controls improve learning environment at five schools
In the face of a challenging economy and limited budgets, three of the Bullitt County Public School District’s elementary schools and one middle school faced imminent HVAC system failures. Adding to this urgent problem were skyrocketing energy costs, unreliable equipment, comfort complaints and poor air quality throughout many of the school district’s twenty-four education buildings. With these issues affecting nearly 13,000 students across 1.9 million square feet of space, the pressing need for a facilities upgrade was clear.
Cumberland County Schools
Building controls improve learning environment at five schools
Classrooms at two elementary schools in the Cumberland County School district had a rather unusual décor during cold weather months. That’s when the facility manager hung quilts over the fifty-year-old windows to keep the cold air out. Major system upgrades were needed throughout the district as maintenance and utility costs continued to rise for the aging infrastructure. With no funding available to pay for the improvements, the Cumberland County School district was faced with the challenge of financing the project.
Wyoming case study
Building controls improve learning environment at five schools
In line with its commitment to fostering the individual excellence of its students, Wyoming City Schools sought to initiate infrastructure updates to improve the learning environment at its five schools. Outdated HVAC systems at the facilities had reached the end of their useful life and were proving to be unreliable and inefficient. Without air conditioning, the district’s three elementary schools were uncomfortable for students and staff during warm weather. Security camera systems were also desired to ensure the safety of its students. While the critical need for facility improvements existed, the financing to complete the upgrades did not. Wyoming City Schools sought ways to obtain funding, while demonstrating prudent use of tax dollars.
