The Ideal Real-World Test
Douglas County School District in Colorado provided a rare opportunity: two nearly identical high schools, located just two miles apart, with similar:
- Square footage
- Student populations
- Mechanical systems
- Operating schedules
One school installed PMCS. The other did not.
What the Data Showed
Over 18 months, utility-provided data revealed:
- 14.5% reduction in peak kW demand
- 8.28% reduction in total kWh consumption
- Improved power quality across HVAC, lighting, and mechanical systems
Why This Case Study Matters
Unlike short trials or simulations, this long-term comparison eliminated variables. The results confirmed PMCS delivers sustained, verifiable efficiency gains in real facilities—not just controlled environments.
