This project was a Guaranteed Energy Savings Contract that included 5 buildings for Powell County Schools, located in Stanton, Kentucky. CMTA was brought in as a strategic partner with Sherman Carter Barnhart Architects to fund a portion of this renovation through energy saving upgrades performed throughout the district. These upgrades encompassed over 300,000 square feet. The project was funded 100% from energy and operational savings. Project highlights include: 

  • Geothermal HVAC renovation for Powell County Middle School
  • 5 buildings received new DDC controls 
  • Lighting upgrades across the district included LED retrofits, new fixtures, and occupancy sensors 
  • District-wide water efficiency low flow plumbing upgrades
