Three Tennessee school districts - Lake County, Overton County and Smith County - were each ready to enhance their facilities and provide more comfortable, connected and secure environments for student learning.

To realize their goals, these districts individually partnered with Johnson Controls to make extensive facility upgrades throughout their schools. The combined $7.7 million in improvements were enabled through Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC) and Tennessee’s Energy Efficient Schools Initiative (EESI). These engagements helped fund project implementations by using guaranteed savings to offset the cost of the upgrades.
