Summary:
This study was undertaken to determine the feasibility of renovating several school buildings in the School District of Greenville County, South Carolina, to make them more energy efficient. A review of the literature revealed that adaptations for energy efficiency, although initially costly, will pay for themselves in a relatively short period of time through reduced expenditures for energy. An in-depth analysis of fourteen schools showed much need for adding insulation, installing storm panels on windows, and making some changes in the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems. Recommendations were made accordingly, showing initial costs and payback schedules for each renovation.
