The Anderson County School District 2 and 3 in South Carolina enlisted ABM's Bundled Energy Solutions program to provide energy efficient upgrades and facility enhancements to 11 schools. Due to limited funds, the school districts could not afford needed improvements. ABM offered a customized solution to provide general fund relief and allow for infrastructure upgrades without burdening the funds. The project is estimated to save the districts over $6 million in energy and operating costs over 15 years through HVAC, lighting, and other upgrades.

Anderson County School District 2 and 3
Bundled Energy Solutions
Anderson County School District 2 and
3 in South Carolina enlisted ABM’s
Bundled Energy Solutions (BES)
program to provide energy efficient
upgrades and facility enhancements to
eleven schools within the county.
Due to limited funds, the school districts
were unable to make needed
improvements to the students’ learning
environment as their primary focus was
on enhancing the educational
curriculum.
ABM offered the school districts a
customized solution that provides
general fund relief and allows for
needed infrastructure improvements. In
District 3, upgrades were made to three
elementary schools, the middle school,
the high school and Board of Education
building. With District 2, enhancements
were made to three elementary schools,
two middle schools, the high school and
the primary school.
Both projects combined are estimated to
save Anderson County School District 2
and District 3 over $6 million in energy
and operating costs over a 15-year
period.
