Linwood Elementary

Linwood elementary’s new building was completed in 2004, as a result of the 2000 bond to replace the original elementary school on the same site that dates back to 1940. Linwood has a building area of approximately 70,000 square feet. Three of the five rooftop units were installed during this phase, as well as the central boiler and chiller plants. Eight classrooms were then added to the southwest corner of the school, as well as a new cafeteria on the north side of the school in 2010 as a result of the 2008 bond. This saw the addition of two more roof-mounted air handling units.

Linwood 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 $89,803 annually (Baseline) on electricity and gas, with a baseline energy usage index (EUI) of 51.8. 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 $557,000 in energy costs over 15 years. This does not include additional operational dollar savings that would be achieved by implementing newer, more efficient systems.
