]]> Juda School, located in a small town with a
population of 357 in southcentral Wisconsin,
teaches grades Pre-K through 12th grade
(Figure 1A & 1B). In recent years, the school
has made great strides in developing a more
sustainable school by upgrading to efficient
fixtures and installing 36 rooftop solar panels.
Juda School has requested for BeEco
Engineering to design a renewable energy
system capable of offsetting current energy
consumption costs by 25%. Annually, Juda
School uses approximately 39,000 cubic feet (CCF) of natural gas for heating purposes and 615,000
kWh of electricity. In 2017, Juda School spent nearly $100,000 on energy. Reducing this annual
expense by 25% will significantly reduce the school’s environmental footprint. The client also
requested a payback period of 7 years or less. Lastly, the client expressed interest in using the renewable
energy system to create learning opportunities for students.
