OVERVIEW
Inman USD 448 partnered with Entegrity to modernize five district facilities through an Energy Savings Performance Contract. The comprehensive project was designed to improve aging infrastructure, reduce utility costs, and provide long-term operational savings without placing additional strain on the district’s budget.
After implementation and commissioning were completed, Entegrity began Measurement & Verification to confirm the project was performing as guaranteed. The district’s first quarterly M&V report showed the project is already exceeding its guaranteed savings.
