The School
District of the City of Wyandotte The summer of 2007 brought with it an exciting new project for Wyandotte Public Schools. I’m pleased to tell you that by the end of October, we’ll come to the end of a $4.4 million project which will mean significant improvements to our 12 district buildings - upgrades that will create a better environment for our teachers, staff and students. The project is being led by Johnson Controls - a global leader in creating smart building environments - under the terms of a long-term performance contract. A performance contract is a way for WPS to make environmental, infrastructure, energy and operational improvements, using guaranteed financial savings to cover project costs. In the event that actual cost savings do not reach the guaranteed savings, Johnson Controls will write a check to the district for the difference! Most of the work has been completed and the rest is near completion. Although many of these improvements are unseen, they are very important to district savings in utilities and a better environment for everyone in all of our buildings: ü Roosevelt – water retrofit, condenser conversion, building envelope, pipe insulation, cement work, pneumatic inspection/repair, pool liquid cover, windows, doors, ceiling, blinds, marquee, gym floors, split systems, DDC controls, AHU inspection/repair
ü
Admin. Bldg. – building envelope, pipe insulation, DDC controls,

inspection/repair, AHU ü McKinley – lighting retrofit, building envelope, steam trap replacement, pipe insulation, flex connectors, DDC controls ü Garfield – lighting retrofit, building envelope, steam trap replacement, pipe insulation, flex connections, DDC controls ü Washington – lighting retrofit, building envelope, steam trap replacement, DDC controls ü Jefferson – building envelope, steam trap replacement, condensate replacement, pipe insulation, convection valve replacement, DDC controls, pneumatic inspection/repair ü Taft – building envelope, DDC controls ü Garage – building envelope, DDC controls These projects accomplish significant improvements and savings over the life of the contract without impacting District operating funds, and without raising taxes. We are, once again, leading the state in these energy efficiencies. Congratulations to our Operations Dept. for their vision and foresight.
