Case Study: California College Preparatory School cuts energy use and demand costs with Encycle Swarm Logic

How Encycle increased energy efficiency at a large, multi-facility school resulting in a monthly energy consumption reduction of 28% and significant savings the school was able to reinvest in its students.

California College Preparatory School, a private multi-building high school, sought to automate its participation in demand response programs to unlock new revenue and reduce energy costs without a large upfront investment or burden on staff. The school needed a solution for remote load management and monitoring of its electricity usage. They partnered with Encycle, utilizing its Swarm Logic technology to address these challenges.

Encycle implemented its Swarm Logic system to control 26 rooftop HVAC units, enabling fully automated demand response and continuous energy savings. This solution allowed the school to earn DR revenue automatically and achieve significant efficiency improvements. As a result, the school reduced its monthly energy consumption by 28%, saved over $24,000 annually, and reinvested the savings into student programs.
