Gordon Parks K-8 Academy

Gordon Parks K-8 Academy is a newer school that was built in 2008 as part of the 2008 bond and currently encompasses about 77,570 square feet.

Parks Academy 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 $62,171 annually (Baseline) on electricity and gas, with a baseline energy usage index (EUI) of 33.2. 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 28–35 EUI. The projected numbers are based on conservative efforts and reflect the district reducing the energy usage index to 28, which would result in total utility dollar savings of approximately $187,000 in energy costs over 15 years. This does not include additional operational dollar savings that would be achieved by implementing newer, more efficient systems.
