Manhattan Beach Unified School District
California
The Opportunity
Located in Los Angeles County, Manhattan Beach Unified School District (MBUSD) serves more than 7,000 students across eight K–12 schools. In its mission to prepare students to meet the challenges of a changing, complex and technology-rich global society, the District needed to find a way to reduce energy costs while maintaining a sound budget focused on maximizing student achievement.The Partnership
MBUSD partnered with ENGIE Services U.S. (ENGIE) to design and implement a large- scale, paid-from-savings program to address deferred maintenance needs and improve the learning environment.As part of the comprehensive program, ENGIE built a 515 kW solar parking shade structure and a 116 kW roof-mounted solar system at Mira Costa High School, replaced a combined 63 heating and cooling units at Mira Costa High School and Manhattan Beach Middle School, and installed interior and exterior state-of-the-art LED lighting at every school in the District. The Mira Costa High School pool received a new heating and pump system, and 11 carrier VVT dampers were replaced with new variable air volume (VAV) dampers at the District Administration Building. The program cuts District utility expenses in half and is expected to yield $9.1 million in energy cost savings over its lifetime. In addition, all work was completed without the use of General Fund dollars.
