H2M assisted the school district by creating a plan to combine sustainable options throughout their buildings developed a plan that will facilitate the school district become more efficient. Some of the efficiency improvements implemented across the school district comprise of installation of high efficiency motors, improvement in building envelope and weatherization, installation of high efficiency boiler, installation of 110 kilowatts of photovoltaic solar panels and automated controls for computers, lights, vending machines, and boilers. Johnson Controls has installed the new power light interlocking photovoltaic solar panels.
The Installation of the photovoltaic solar panels is the largest project of this kind implemented by a Long Island School District till date. The panels will generate an estimated yearly energy production of 1,650,000 kilowatt per hour, and will obtain an estimated LIPA rebate of $495,000.
“This project demonstrates to the greater Long Island Community that the technology and science exist today to cut energy costs which will contribute to Long Island’s energy independence. Hopefully this will inspire other school districts and municipalities to join in.”
