Unique Partnership Sparks Significant Reduction in Energy Usage
For years, Jefferson Parish Schools had contracted with low bid maintenance providers for the HVAC systems, only to find themselves paying for excessive repairs and replacement of systems. Star Service was able to provide a more cost effective approach by implementing the Guaranteed Lifetime Protection Agreement.
Challenges
- Reduce Energy Consumption
- Increase Equipment Reliability
- High Energy Costs
- Extend Equipment Life-Cycles
- Improve Environment Comfort
Solutions
- A fixed-cost HVAC maintenance program was implemented
- Integrate new equipment where it would save money or improve efficiency
- Create custom software that allow building operators to manage and control individual facilities
- Reduce equipment run-time from 24/7/365 to when a facility is occupied or for spaces that require specific temperatures
- Engineered and install a custom Automation Controls System allowing remote monitoring and alarm management with automatic notifications sent to building operators
Results
Star Service was able to provide the Jefferson Parish School System with improved comfort, reduced failures and reduced costs in a time of fiscal challenges.
“We are are very excited about the results we are seeing. With many school districts today struggling to meet their energy and other needs efficiently and cost-effectively, this public/ private partnership has the potential to be a model for what school systems across the nation can do to measure and better manage their resources.”
