Rolling Acres Middle School : Peoria, Illinois
53,200 square feet | $2.34 million
THE CHALLENGE
Rolling Acres needed to add air conditioning to their school and replace their existing heating system with an upgraded, streamlined system. However, Rolling Acres has had eight additions to the building since originally being built, making system designing much more complex. An additional boiler room was added with the most recent additions, making the school’s heating bill much higher than necessary and taking up more space.
KED SOLUTION : Cost-efficient HVAC Upgrades
We replaced the existing heating system with a new, upgraded system and extended it throughout the entire building. By streamlining and extending the heating system, the school was able to eliminate the second boiler room entirely, helping to reduce costs and usable space. The previous boilers were only 70-80% efficient, but the new boilers are 98.6% efficient, which helps save on costs also. We added air conditioning and DDC controls to the school to provide comfortable temperatures for students throughout every season.
