Value Delivered
EMCOR Construction Services Midwest upgraded HVAC equipment, controls, and lighting for the high school, middle school, and two elementary schools across Mill Creek Community School Corporation (MCCSC).
Highlights of the project included a new chiller at the high school, direct digital control (DDC) devices for a boiler at one of the elementaries, and the installation of cutting-edge variable frequency drives (VFDs) across the district. These upgrades were central to helping MCCSC improve their energy efficiency.
The district is projected to achieve annual energy savings of $166,307 over nine years, totaling $1,496,763.
Client Objectives
MCCSC was looking to reduce their energy consumption and achieve optimal operating efficiency at all the schools within their district.
