The energy efficiency project includes solar photovoltaic panels mounted on parking shade structures at nine campuses; replace 400 air conditioning units; and upgrade nearly 21,000 lighting fixtures.
As part of the project, Chevron will design and engineer the project, and will install, operate, maintain and guarantee energy-saving performance.
The company will also implement efficiency improvements designed to provide better lighting quality and aesthetics, cut maintenance costs and improve the educational environment.
Through the project, the district is expected to cut its electrical utility usage by 42% and its carbon emissions by nearly 4,500 metric tons, which equates to taking 882 cars off the road.
