Local Case Studies
FEDERAL WAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS HVAC REPLACEMENTS
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.
CITY OF BELLEVUE LED STREET LIGHTING
The City of Bellevue is very proactive in working to reduce utility consumption and associated expenditures while improving aging infrastructure. As part of that effort, the city partnered with the Washington Department of Enterprise Services (DES) Energy Program and selected Integrity Energy Services to identify, develop and implement energy efficiency measures. The project team identified conversion of street lights to LED as a very cost effective and beneficial measure and included it in the final project scope. As part of the process, Integrity assisted the city in preparation and submittal of an application for an energy efficiency grant from the state Department of Commerce. A grant award of $500,000 and over $200,000 in estimated utility incentives significantly reduced the amount of capital funding required for the project.
SOLAR PV ARRAYS
Integrity Energy Services (IES) works with customers to reduce utility consumption and associated expenditures while improving aging infrastructure and implementing renewable technologies. As part of that effort, they evaluate, recommend and implement solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays as beneficial measures, when meeting the client’s project criteria. Integrity Energy Services also identifies and assists the customer in maximizing alternative funds (grants, rebates, incentives) to reduce the amount of capital needed to complete the project.
CITY OF FIFE AQUATIC CENTER
The Fife Swim Center is a cornerstone facility for the City of Fife that is widely used and valued by the community. The city was seeking opportunities to improve aging building infrastructure and reduce utility consumption. Working through the Washington Department of Enterprise Services (DES) Energy Program, the City of Fife selected Integrity Energy Services to identify, develop and implement measures to upgrade facility systems while saving energy. As part of the process, Integrity assisted the city in a competitive energy efficiency grant application. A grant award of over $130,000 and $60,000 in utility incentives significantly reduced the amount of capital funding required to complete the project.
