BizSavers Success Stories

With buildings dating back 70-75 years in age, and having 33+ campuses with over 3.3 million square feet, energy efficiency presented some challenges for Parkway School District. From HVAC and variable frequency drives, to LED lighting and variable air volume boxes, the BizSavers program enabled the school district to accelerate the speed of achieving their energy savings goals while receiving more than $1.6 million in incentives. Furthermore, all the incentives they receive are used for additional energy projects, creating a snowball effect for greater savings and opportunities.

When the BizSavers^® team demonstrated the savings opportunities the Hazelwood School District could achieve through making simple energy efficient upgrades, it was an easy decision for them to move forward. The school district started with an LED lighting program for immediate savings, but also achieved long term operational benefits, saving them over a half million dollars in energy year after year.
