The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), a subsidiary of
The AES Corporation (NYSE:AES) presented the Kettering City Schools
with an energy efficiency rebate of $536,241.52 for upgrading to
LED lighting and implementing several energy saving projects
throughout the district’s facilities.
With guidance from DP&L, Kettering City Schools installed
LED energy efficient lighting and occupancy sensors at each
building which significantly improved energy efficiency and reduced
energy costs. The district is on track for a total savings of
1,236,000 kilowatt hours annually from these projects.
Additionally, several internal procedures and practices, such as
having employees manually turn off lights when not in use and
adjusting thermostat temperature set points seasonally have
contributed to being more energy conscious.
Over the past 6 years, the district has enlisted the support of
DP&L’s energy efficiency team to conduct audits and re-evaluate
where further improvements could be made to increase their savings
and maximize their energy use. As a result of these latest
projects, Kettering City Schools will achieve energy savings of
more than 2.3M kilowatt hours annually.
The buildings included the transportation facility, maintenance
office, J.E. Prass Elementary School, Southdale Elementary School,
Orchard Park Elementary School, Oakview Elementary School, John F.
Kennedy Elementary School, Indian Riffle Elementary School,
Greenmont Elementary School, Beavertown Elementary School, Van
Buren Middle School, Trent Arena, Kettering Middle School, Fairmont
High School and the D.L. Barnes Administration Office.
"We are proud of the long-standing partnership we enjoy with The
Dayton Power and Light Company that results in a win-win situation
for both organizations," says Scott Inskeep, superintendent of the
Kettering City Schools. "Like DP&L, the Kettering Schools are
committed to energy efficiency. The district's maintenance
department is continually looking at ways to power our more than
1.5-million-square-feet of facility space more efficiently and, in
the process, to save taxpayer dollars. This rebate check represents
a significant amount of money that allowed the district to move
forward with energy-efficient upgrades across the district,
allowing us to lower our energy costs for the future."
“Through smart planning and utilizing today’s most energy
efficient lighting systems, students and the entire community will
benefit from lower energy costs. Just as Kettering City Schools
values the education it provides to its students, DP&L values
the priority this school district is placing on energy efficiency,”
said DP&L President and CEO Tom Raga. “DP&L is very proud
to partner with the district’s continued focus on an energy
efficient operation.”
