Jackson Elementary

Jackson Elementary School was constructed and opened in fall 2004. The school, at the time, was comprised of areas ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, and ‘D’ which totaled approximately 70,000 square feet. In 2008, two additions were constructed. The area ‘C’ west addition was approximately 7,000 square feet and comprised of five classrooms and a toilet room group. The area ‘B’ south addition was approximately 5,000 square feet and comprised of four kindergarten classrooms with single toilet rooms off each classroom.

Jackson Elementary 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 $61,164 annually (Baseline) on electricity and gas, with a baseline energy usage index (EUI) of 43.6. 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 $230,000 in energy costs over 15 years. This does not include additional operational dollar savings that would be achieved by implementing newer, more efficient systems.
