Royal ISD hired E3 to undertake a district-wide energy efficiency and facility upgrade project. Royal ISD was facing many of the same problems that other districts face; high energy bills, constant problems with their energy management controls, chillers malfunctioning and widespread comfort complaints. Together E3 and Royal ISD crafted a plan that would address each one of these issues while saving the district’s precious M&O dollars in the process.

The following projects were initiated to solve the issues:

• 7 new chillers throughout the district
• Chiller plant redesign and replacement
• RTU and DOAS redesign and replacement
• AHU Replacement
• District-wide LED retrofit
• Installation and expansion of the Building Automation System
• Replace control valves and dampers throughout the district
• Surge Protection
• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) installation

The result of the project was dramatically reduced utility bills, fewer comfort complaints and maintenance calls, and a huge swipe out of their deferred maintenance. Additionally, this project will result in rebate incentives from Centerpoint Energy.
