From School District #27:
Annual savings to be achieved with 3 School Mechanical Upgrades!
The Board of Education of School District No. 27 (Cariboo-Chilcotin) passed three bylaws on Tuesday, Sept 28th which will allow them to proceed with three Energy Efficiency Mechanical Upgrades in District schools.
These bylaws will provide over $700,000 in Ministry of Education funding which the District will match for the following projects:
•Mile 108 Elementary will receive a full geo-exchange system that includes a geothermal loop field which will replace the current fluid cooler (cooling tower). The system will provide increased efficiency, reduced maintenance and significant reductions in Green House Gas (GHG) emissions.
•Naghtaneqed Elementary/Secondary School, located in Nemiah Valley will receive a full HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) mechanical upgrade. This will result in better air quality, reduced moisture problems, reduced maintenance and reductions in GHG emissions.
•Alexis Creek Elementary/Secondary School will receive a new BioEnergy boiler heating system. This system uses wood pellets which are locally produced. The system ties into the current heating system and will be the primary source of heat for the school. The system will greatly reduce heating costs and GHG emissions, while supporting the local pellet production industry.
The energy efficiencies in all these projects will result in over $65,000 in annual savings for the District.
The Board also passed a bylaw to replace 11 school buses valued at $1.25 million from Ministry of Education funding.
