• Dahlstrom Middle School, Hays CISD – Energy Efficiency Case Study
• Lehman High School, Hays CISD – Energy Efficiency Case Study
• McKinney North High School, McKinney ISD – Energy Efficiency Case Study
• Kaufman ISD Gym Lighting – Case Study
• Tyler ISD Gym Lighting – Case Study
• McLennan Community College, Waco, TX – Case Study
• Flower Mound High School: A Model for Energy
  • This 300,000 sq. ft. school was designed to provide maximum flexibility, low energy costs, minimum maintenance and reduced first costs. Up-front planning resulted in the use of many smart systems and products, ranging from direct digital control systems, to HVAC zoning, to energy recovery systems that reclaim energy and reduce energy consumption.
• McKinney Elementary School Named to Earth Day Top 10 List
  • McKinney's sustainable architectural and engineering design elements have led to national recognition and acclaim. The building's many environmentally significant features range from rainwater harvesting to solar and energy recovery systems to day lighting that incorporates a light monitoring scheme. The school is considered a prototype for 21st century educational facility design.
• Onate High School Achieves National Acclaim
  • This school's systems were designed to adapt to local environmental conditions to achieve maximum energy efficiency. A hybrid air conditioning system exemplifies innovation. Indirect evaporative cooling systems reduce operating costs in large, open areas, while individual heat pumps, with direct digital controls, serve each classroom. The system design allows the flexibility to monitor and control equipment operation so that mechanical and electrical usage is confined to occupied building areas.
• Texas School Energy Audits Save State Millions
  • EMA has conducted over 2,500 energy audits for Texas schools, colleges and universities, and municipalities. These audits, combined with energy manager training programs and sound retrofit planning, have reduced educational facility energy costs by millions of dollars. For example: billing errors were uncovered that exceeded one million dollars; innovative lighting retrofits provided annual savings of $500,000; and HVAC improvements decreased one school system's energy costs by 38%.
• Gillette Intermediate, Kingsville ISD
  • Recognized for Green Features and IPM Suitability
• Duncanville High School, Duncanville ISD
  • Recognized as one of the largest high schools in the nation.  The district decided to renovate existing buildings rather than build new ones.
