Dayton Power and Light Awards Kettering City Schools Energy Efficiency Rebate of $536,241

DAYTON, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), a subsidiary of The AES
Corporation (NYSE:AES) presented the Kettering City Schools with an
energy efficiency rebate of $536,241.52 for upgrading to LED
lighting and implementing several energy saving projects throughout the
district’s facilities.

With guidance from DP&L, Kettering City Schools installed LED energy
efficient lighting and occupancy sensors at each building which
significantly improved energy efficiency and reduced energy costs. The
district is on track for a total savings of 1,236,000 kilowatt hours
annually from these projects. Additionally, several internal procedures
and practices, such as having employees manually turn off lights when
not in use and adjusting thermostat temperature set points seasonally
have contributed to being more energy conscious.

Over the past 6 years, the district has enlisted the support of DP&L’s
energy efficiency team to conduct audits and re-evaluate where further
improvements could be made to increase their savings and maximize their
energy use. As a result of these latest projects, Kettering City Schools
will achieve energy savings of more than 2.3M kilowatt hours annually.

The buildings included the transportation facility, maintenance office,
J.E. Prass Elementary School, Southdale Elementary School, Orchard Park
Elementary School, Oakview Elementary School, John F. Kennedy Elementary
School, Indian Riffle Elementary School, Greenmont Elementary School,
Beavertown Elementary School, Van Buren Middle School, Trent Arena,
Kettering Middle School, Fairmont High School and the D.L. Barnes
Administration Office.

“We are proud of the long-standing partnership we enjoy with The Dayton
Power and Light Company that results in a win-win situation for both
organizations,” says Scott Inskeep, superintendent of the Kettering City
Schools. “Like DP&L, the Kettering Schools are committed to energy
efficiency. The district’s maintenance department is continually looking
at ways to power our more than 1.5-million-square-feet of facility space
more efficiently and, in the process, to save taxpayer dollars. This
rebate check represents a significant amount of money that allowed the
district to move forward with energy-efficient upgrades across the
district, allowing us to lower our energy costs for the future.”

“Through smart planning and utilizing today’s most energy efficient
lighting systems, students and the entire community will benefit from
lower energy costs. Just as Kettering City Schools values the education
it provides to its students, DP&L values the priority this school
district is placing on energy efficiency,” said DP&L President and CEO
Tom Raga. “DP&L is very proud to partner with the district’s continued
focus on an energy efficient operation.”
