Woodman Elementary

Woodman Elementary School was constructed in 1956 encompassing approximately 80,233 square feet and expanded two separate times. Once for a multipurpose/safe room addition as part of the 2000 bond (7,351 square feet) and again for the cafeteria addition as part of the 2008 bond (4,025 square feet), bringing the building to a total of 91,609 square feet. Along with the 2003 gym addition, an additional four AHUs, 44 unit ventilators, two fan coil units, 11 blower coil units and a make up air unit were added to the facility for further air conditioning of the existing building as well as the two existing chillers. The 2010 addition added one RTU to serve the cafeteria addition.

Woodman 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 $139,465 annually (Baseline) on electricity and gas, with a baseline energy usage index (EUI) of 63. An elementary school 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 and 40 EUI. The projected numbers are based on conservative efforts and reflect the district reducing the energy usage index to 40, which would result in total utility dollar savings of $976,000 in energy costs over 15 years. This does not include additional operational dollar savings that would be achieved by implementing newer, more efficient systems.
