Federal Way Public Schools (FWPS) is one of the largest school districts in the Washington State comprised of 38 schools serving nearly 24,000 students. The district strives to provide exceptional teaching and learning environments and effectively manage public funds. To achieve those objectives, district staff is very proactive in upgrading and maintaining educational facilities while working to reduce utility consumption. As part of that effort, the district partnered with the Washington Department of Enterprise Services (DES) Energy Program and selected Integrity Energy Services to identify, develop and implement facility system upgrades and energy efficiency measures. The project team designed and constructed HVAC replacements at nine sites during a single summer. Integrity assisted FWPS in preparation and submittal of an application for an energy efficiency grant from the state Department of Commerce. A maximum grant award of $350,000 and over $100,000 in estimated utility incentives significantly reduced the amount of capital funding required for the project.​
