Johnson Controls will improve lighting infrastructure in eight schools within the Folsom Cordova Unified School District (FCUSD) in Folsom and Rancho Cordova, California. The installation of intelligent LED lighting fixtures will help modernize school infrastructure, initiate energy savings throughout the growing district and improve the environment for student and faculty performance.

The installation project will take eight months according to the plan developed by FCUSD school officials and Johnson Controls Performance Infrastructure™ leaders. This plan leverages an energy savings performance contract (ESPC), projecting savings of $4.8 million over 20 years, as well as funds granted by Proposition 39, The California Clean Energy Jobs Act.

Energy Savings Performance Contract

Proposition 39 allows the school district to receive the money upfront to design and build the project"

We’re thrilled to find an innovative way to help Folsom Cordova Unified School District improve schools and respect their budget,” said Mike Kozlowski, Performance Infrastructure™ account executive, Johnson Controls. “Proposition 39 allows the school district to receive the money upfront to design and build the project, and still receive the expected payback in reduced utility costs of an equal or greater amount through the energy savings performance contract.”

Our district is focused on creating a positive learning environment for our more than 20,000 students to do their best work and having modern, updated facilities is an important part of achieving that goal.” – Dr. Sarah Koligian, superintendent, Folsom Cordova Unified School District.

Positive Learning Environment

Each lighting unit will be manually dimmable and have a daylight harvesting sensor that will automatically dim fixtures if natural light is available. The fixtures will also have motion sensors that will interconnect with all of the other lighting elements in a room in order to reduce the amount of equipment and wiring needed.

Our district is focused on creating a positive learning environment for our more than 20,000 students to do their best work and having modern, updated facilities is an important part of achieving that goal,” said Dr. Sarah Koligian, superintendent, Folsom Cordova Unified School District. “By collaborating with Johnson Controls to fund this project through the help of Proposition 39, we are able to implement the improvements to meet our goals without dramatically impacting our operating budget.”
