At R&C Management Group, we are proud to highlight the remarkable achievements of Centennial School District, in their journey towards energy efficiency. Centennial School District has demonstrated exceptional commitment to creating a sustainable and eco-friendly learning environment for its students and staff.

One of the most impactful projects undertaken by the district was the upgrade of HVAC systems to direct digital controls (DDC) at seven schools. This comprehensive retro-commissioning process addressed significant issues with outdated pneumatic systems, resulting in better temperature control, reduced maintenance costs, and more comfortable learning spaces. The district's efforts have not only improved energy efficiency but also earned substantial cash incentives.

Scott Rose, Sr. Program Manager at R&C Management Group, reflected on the challenges and successes of the project: "The challenge of the work was to drive costs down through open competition while still providing a cohesive end product that empowered the district to meet their goals of improved preventative maintenance and reliability for students and staff. It consisted of 3 different contractors over 9 school sites phased over 2 years. In the end, all systems were integrated and delivered the desired outcomes."

Centennial School District's proactive approach to energy management and sustainability serves as an inspiring example for other educational institutions. Their dedication to reducing energy consumption and enhancing the learning environment underscores the importance of innovative solutions and collaborative efforts.

At R&C Management Group, we are honored to support Centennial School District in their mission to create a brighter, more sustainable future for their community. Their success is a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation in achieving energy efficiency goals.
