Coleman Middle School

Coleman Environmental Magnet Middle School was constructed in 1964 and is currently encompassing approximately 160,419 square feet.
The original building contains four circular buildings connected by a commons area. One building contains two gymnasiums, and another has an auditorium in the center with nine classrooms around the circular area. There are classrooms located on three floors of the remaining two buildings. In 2004, an administration/science wing was added, consisting of offices and eight classrooms. In 2015, four classrooms and a storm
shelter were constructed on the north side of the building.

Coleman Middle School has significant opportunities for energy and operational savings. The graph above shows the baseline utility cost and projected future utility expenditure if energy conservation measures, as identified by Navitas' preliminary site audits, are implemented. Currently, this building spends approximately $149,171 annually (Baseline) on electricity and gas, with a baseline energy usage index (EUI) of 37. A building with similar systems and operations can have variable energy usage when efficiency measures are upgraded, depending on the
occupancy load. The energy usage index can range between 30–40 EUI. The projected numbers are based on conservative efforts and
reflect the district reducing the energy usage index to 35, which would result in total utility dollar savings of approximately $232,000 in energy costs over 15 years. This does not include additional operational dollar savings that would be achieved by implementing newer, more efficient systems.
