Case Study: Dighton Rehoboth Regional School District cuts energy costs by 62% with Trane Commercial HVAC and solar solutions

Dighton Rehoboth Regional School District

The Dighton Rehoboth Regional School District faced rising operational expenses and a deteriorating learning environment due to years of deferred maintenance on its facilities and aging equipment. The district sought to gain control of its energy costs and employ renewable energy but lacked the available capital. They turned to Trane Commercial and its Performance Contracting solution to address these challenges.

Trane implemented a comprehensive upgrade, which included new high-efficiency HVAC equipment, boilers, a building automation system, and a 1.2 MW solar PV system. As a result, the district cut its annual energy costs by 62 percent and is projected to achieve over $16.62 million in savings and incentives. The improvements also significantly enhanced indoor air quality and safety, with solar energy now expected to provide 75 percent of the district's overall electricity.
