Horace Mann K-8 Magnet

In fall 2003, Horace Mann K-8 Dual Language Magnet relocated to a brand new 73,000 square foot building located at 1243 N. Market Street in Wichita, KS. Following the
2008 bond the new Horace Mann K-8 school received a 5,000 square foot addition including a band room and a science classroom.

Horace Mann K-8 Dual Language Magnet 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 $83,429 annually (Baseline) on electricity and gas, with a baseline energy usage index (EUI) of 46.1. 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 $385,000 in energy costs over 15 years. This does not include additional operational dollar savings that would be achieved by implementing newer, more efficient systems.
