Greensburg Salem hires energy savings company to tackle overhaul of district facilities

Decades since the last major remodeling of its facilities, Greensburg Salem this week voted to draft a contract with an energy savings company to help the district identify and prioritize a series of building projects.

The school board unanimously approved a partnership with TEN, The Efficiency Network. The company will run an audit of Greensburg Salem’s five school buildings and athletic complex, identifying areas where facility upgrades could save the district money, said Superintendent Ken Bissell.

The vote comes days after Siemens proposed $21.5 million in improvements to climate control systems, lighting and other equipment at Greater Latrobe’s senior and junior high schools. The improvements could save the district about $8.2 million in energy and operational expenses over 20 years, according to Siemens.
