In June of 2019, Jasper County School District started an energy savings initiative in partnership with CMTA Energy Solutions.
The project scope included solar panel installations, indoor/outdoor LED lighting upgrades for three campuses, new rooftop HVAC Systems and new low-flow plumbing fixtures.
As a result of this forward-looking project, we are proud to report a 46% reduction in energy usage across our 2 campuses and District office. Water usage is also down 56%. Our energy costs per square foot have been reduced from $1.29 per square foot to $0.81 per square foot.
Between June 2020 and July 2021 the school district saved $356,980 on energy costs and since the beginning of the energy savings initiative in June 2019 the district has saved $570,001.
Mr. Roger Maybrier from CMTA Energy Solutions presented this wonderful news to the JCSD Board of Education during our November 8th Board Meeting.
