A Tale of Two Schools: What an 18-Month Energy Study Revealed

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.
