Fountain Valley School District

California

Expected to generate $6.8MM in net savings

over the life of the program

Supports adoption and implementation of Common Core State Standards with Living Lab hands-on STEM education program

Helps achieve the District’s environmental stewardship goals, offsetting CO₂ emissions equivalent to the annual electricity use of 208 homes

"Our district's future is brighter because of this project and we are grateful to ENGIE Services U.S. for their dedication and particular attentiveness to helping us meet our educational mission."

Stephen McMahon, Assistant Superintendent, Fountain Valley School District

The Opportunity

Fountain Valley School District (FVSD) partnered with ENGIE Services U.S. (ENGIE) to implement a comprehensive energy program that saves money and energy, while setting an example of how to foster environmental sustainability.

The Partnership

ENGIE helped FVSD reduce long-term energy costs by improving its infrastructure. ENGIE combined on-site renewable energy generation and upgraded lighting, air conditioning, water infrastructure, and energy management solutions to modernize 11 buildings. ENGIE also hosted educational events so that community members and the media could learn more about the energy and education initiatives. This helped the District gain positive press and support for their program.

3 Dimensions of Impact

ENGIE is committed to building three dimensions of impact in every customer’s future:

Supporting People
Saving Money
Protecting the Environment

The brightest addition to this comprehensive program was the integration of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) activities for students and professional development for teachers. By creating Living Labs for solar, energy efficiency, and weather science Living Labs, FVSD leveraged the energy conservation program as the ultimate learning opportunity. The increased energy-efficiency not only brings added comfort to the learning environment, but saves the District $6.8 million over the life of the program.
