Abstract
As part of the Texas LoanSTAR program, 44 schools in the Fort Worth Independent
School District (FWISD) had lighting retrofits performed on there in late 1991. The
Energy Systems Laboratory of Texas A&M University is monitoring hourly energy use at
two of these 44 schools, Sims Elementary School and Dunbar Middle School. Data
analyses at the Energy Systems Laboratory on the monitored data along with utility billing
data from 102 other schools in the FWISD, have shown major O&M savings potential in
these schools of over one-fourth of the total electricity consumption and gas consumption,
which could amount to $ 1,658,000/yr. This report describes the analysis procedure and
highlights the O&M energy savings potential in each of the 104 schools.
