Case Study: Dighton Unified School District 482 achieves $190,000 annual savings and improved classroom comfort with Trane Commercial

Dighton Unified School District 482 - Customer Case Study

Dighton Unified School District 482 in Dighton, Kansas, was dealing with roof leaks, broken windows hardware, an inefficient steam boiler, and aging ventilators and air handling units that were driving frequent equipment failures and emergency repairs. To improve comfort, safety, and learning conditions, the district worked with Trane Commercial on a performance contracting approach that included HVAC and controls upgrades.

Trane Commercial completed an investment grade audit and implemented energy and maintenance improvements including Trane ProSpace VRF systems, a Horizon dedicated outside air system, new rooftop units, upgraded lighting, electrical work, and Trane Tracer controls. The project is projected to save about $190,000 annually in operations, maintenance, and utility expenses, while also delivering quieter, more comfortable classrooms and a better overall learning environment.
