Our district uses a microprocessor-based energy management system to control Heating and Air Conditioning (HVAC), control lighting systems, and assist in implementing a system-wide energy management and temperature control strategy. This system also allows scheduling, monitoring, and troubleshooting systems in the field from a centrally located room.
Our goal is to maintain 74 degrees temperature as a cooling set point and 68 degrees as a heating set point. These points were set as part of the energy management guidelines that were adopted in May of 2010.
Air conditioning run time schedules are manipulated in accordance to exterior environmental conditions and energy management guidelines. There are many influences on the temperatures within the buildings and our energy management team is consistently working to keep buildings working efficiently while maintaining a comfortable learning environment for our students.
