So, when two of the 1960-era schools \u2013 Elementary School 4 and Elementary School 5 \u2013 started showing their age, the school administration took action and sought out cost-effective solutions to ensure a comfortable learning environment for its staff and students for years to come.<\/p>\n Enter: Direct Install from New Jersey\u2019s Clean Energy Program. After Hutchinson conducted an energy assessment confirming eligibility for the 15-year-old boilers and 20+ year old rooftop units,\u00a0 the crew installed a new high-efficiency boiler and seven energy efficiency rooftop HVAC units. Hutchinson also upgraded the schools\u2019 interior and exterior lighting to 100% LED and recessed lighting. The LED lighting not only reduces maintenance and energy costs, but also provides a superior lighting output.<\/p>\n \u201cDirect Install paid for almost 80% of the project,\u201d said Pete Hatton, Hutchinson\u2019s Director of Commercial services. \u201cThe installation of energy-efficiency boilers, HVAC units and LED lighting will be a money-saver for the school district for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe NJ Direct Install Program through Hutchinson provided us with a robust incentive program to upgrade some of our older mechanical equipment which will now operate more efficiently.\u201d said Kathleen Huder, Business Administrator\/Board Secretary of Lindenwold Board of Education. \u201cIt\u2019s a responsible and effective strategy to save taxpayers\u2019 money while maintaining their school buildings. The upgraded equipment will now also generate further energy and maintenance savings each year. We are thankful to have had this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n The NJ Direct Install Program through Hutchinson provided us with a robust incentive program to upgrade some of our older mechanical equipment which will now operate more efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
