This project for the Kentucky Community & Technical College System was a Guaranteed Energy Savings Contract for Elizabethtown Community and Technical College. The project included energy upgrades to nearly 500,000 square feet of educational, administrative and technical training spaces across all three ECTC campuses. The project highlights include extensive LED lighting retrofits, utility rates savings, significant HVAC control and HVAC system upgrades. HVAC system replacements included several original building systems over 40 years old, such as AHUs, chillers, boilers, and VAV terminal units at four buildings. Additionally, the project replaced a troublesome rooftop HVAC unit that had been leaking for several years. The project also stretched a concurrent architectural upgrade to an administrative building on campus with new ceiling tiles, light fixtures and HVAC grilles/diffusers.
