Energy Performance Contracting and Custodial Services

Ensuring students have a comfortable and safe environment is critical to learning success. Read how ɫ����rejuvenated aging facilities, cut costs, and improved operations with limited funding.

Brooks County School System is a public school system in southwestern Georgia.

Challenge

Brooks County Schools’ six buildings were challenged by an aging infrastructure and reduced funding. With the majority of capital funds dedicated to paying an existing bond, administrators needed to address issues affecting the school system’s learning environment.

In three facilities, HVAC units outlived their usefulness life, while the Brooks County Board of Education J.H. Wells Education Center needed a new roof and, throughout the school system, security cameras and a VOIP system were needed.

‍Dr. Vickie Reed, Superintendent Brooks County School System
