Y <br />Michigan City Area Schools <br />After a guaranteed energy savings project was recently implemented, <br />Michigan City Area Schools was looking to further reduce their energy <br />costs using solar power and LED lighting upgrades. The District selected <br />Performance Services to implement a second guaranteed energy savings <br />project that will reduce overall electricity consumption at seven buildings by <br />52 percent, saving the District $704,672 annually. Ground -mounted solar <br />arrays and LED lighting were installed at seven school buildings including <br />three elementary schools, two middle schools, Michigan City High School <br />and the administration building. <br />Solar Highlights <br />• Seven ground -mount solar arrays <br />• 2.83 megawatts (total arrays) <br />• 3,628,000 kWh energy to grid <br />2018 Governor's Award <br />Michigan City Area Schools received a 2018 <br />Governor's <br />Award for <br />Environmental Excellence in the Renewable Energy <br />Category by <br />the <br />Indiana <br />Department of Environmental Management (IDEM). The Solar and <br />LED <br />project <br />is the largest for any school district in Indiana and <br />the Midwest to date. The <br />solar arrays provide 2.83 megawatts (dc) of clean, <br />renewable energy <br />and, in <br />combination with the LED lighting upgrades, offset <br />approximately <br />52 <br />percent <br />of combined electricity usage at these locations, with expected <br />net <br />energy <br />savings of $23 million over 30 years. <br />"We are thrilled to be recognized with the Governor's Award.This project has helped <br />us move toward'greener'and more efficient buildings, and it is being financed <br />through energy savings at no cost to taxpayers.This will benefit Michigan City Area <br />Schools and our community for years to come" <br />Dr. Barbara Eason -Watkins <br />SUPERINTENDENT, MICHIGAN CITY AREA SCHOOLS <br />CONTRACT TOTAL: <br />$8,875,000 <br />20 Year term <br />SOLAR PV ONLY TOTAL: <br />$6,952,209 <br />START DATE: <br />Sep 2017 <br />COMPLETION DATE: <br />Dec 2017 <br />STATUS: <br />In 2nd Year of Monitoring <br />ANNUAL GUARANTEED ENERGY <br />SAVINGS: <br />$704,672 <br />3,618,456 I(Wh <br />FIRST YEAR SAVINGS: <br />$704,672 <br />3,618,456 kWh <br />TOTAL SOLAR ARRAYS: <br />283 MW-DC <br />CONTACT: <br />Lance Werner <br />Business Manager <br />(219) 873-2000 <br />b"Aboull fl y."rfi, it 71aii e ` eivIQ.e s <br />We are a Design -Build engineering and construction company specializing in creating high -efficiency buildings with optimal learning and working environments. <br />By valuing relationships and workmanship over change orders and shortcuts, Performance Services strives to earn a 1000/oCustomer Satisfaction rating. <br />caA . do <br />Performance Services r� ARE <br />° <br />
