Case Study: Willoughby-Eastlake School District achieves energy savings and improved learning environments with Trane Commercial and GE Lighting

Willoughby Eastlake

The Willoughby-Eastlake School District faced aging infrastructure, high energy costs, and outdated, inefficient lighting across twelve of its buildings. Seeking a more economical solution than rebuilding, the district partnered with Trane Commercial to address these challenges and improve the learning environment.

Trane Commercial implemented a high-performance building approach, conducting an audit and prioritizing energy conservation measures. The solution included installing Trane Voyager rooftop units for improved comfort and replacing all lighting with efficient GE fixtures. The project saved the district approximately $1.26 million annually in energy and operational costs, repurposed a vacant building, and significantly boosted morale for students and staff.
