Energy Efficiency Upgrades to Save Pueblo Schools More Than $14 Million
The project will pay for itself through reduced utility and operational costs
PUEBLO, Colo. — Pueblo City Schools D60, in partnership with McKinstry, has begun implementing energy savings measures that will save the district more than $14 million in energy and operational savings over the next 20 years. The project will pay for itself through reduced utility and operational costs and will improve the educational environment for students, teachers, and staff.
Significant infrastructure needs at several schools were negatively impacting classroom environments, but tight budgets made paying for a major overhaul a challenge. The district decided to move forward with an energy services company (ESCO) who would identify energy savings opportunities, perform the work, and then guarantee the energy savings.
