"Having a partner like Seiberlich Trane Energy Services complete an independent audit of our schools was very helpful, but the fact that they put a dollar figure to address our issues and found a way to pay for them with efficiency savings was invaluable."
About the Client
Indian River School District completed $8.2MM in energy saving improvements that increased the energy efficiency and comfort in 14 schools and one administration building, while decreasing the District’s environmental impact.
Indian River partnered with Seiberlich Trane Energy Services to complete an investment grade audit of the facilities and to execute a performance contract to provide design and construction of the needed building improvements. The work was completed within a one year work schedule with minimal disruption to staff and students.
