INSULATED AIR DUCTS
12

• Network of sensors in every room to monitor and
  control the temperature

13
COMPUTER CONTROLLED AIR DELIVERY
14

• CENTRALIZED NETWORK OF THERMOSTATS

15
TWO NEW BOILERS WERE INSTALLED

• The old boiler was 80 efficient
• The new boilers are 96 efficient

16
Better Learning Environment

• The time it would take to pay it off is
  inestimable.
• The boiler uses its extra efficiency to circulate
  and warm fresh air from outside.
• The fresher air helps concentration and hinders
  the spread of airborne viruses.

17
The Luck School District Worked With Several
Agencies to Upgrade Their Climate Control System

• The State Department of Public Instruction
• The Department of Natural Resources
• Wisconsins Focus on Energy Program

18
The System was Developed by TRANE
