This project was a Guaranteed Energy Savings Contract that included 2 buildings, over 235,000 square feet in the Bell County School District, located in Pineville, Kentucky. The project was 100% funded through an energy revenue bond sale. Construction for this project took place over one summer and was completed in three months. This project was completely funded through energy and operational cost savings, even though no competing energy service was able to complete this per the RFP response.

New geothermal well fields for Bell Central School Center and Bell County High School
HVAC controls upgrade at Bell Central School Center and Bell County High School
Commissioning of HVAC controls at Bell Central School Center and Bell County High School

CMTA’s guaranteed energy savings division, in my opinion, is second to none. Of all the projects I have been involved in at WCPS, this has by far been the smoothest and most rewarding.

This is the first Guaranteed Energy Performance Contract the Powell County School District has successfully completed. While it's been a learning experience for all involved, CMTA has assisted us every step of the way. When I contact CMTA representatives, they respond efficiently and effectively.
