Project Description
Performance Services worked with Greendale School District to assess new energy solutions for three elementary schools, Greendale Middle School, and Greendale High School. Greendale was looking for a partner with transparent policies and practices. Performance Services exceeded the requirements with their transparent open-book pricing, integrated design and delivery approach, and cost-effective solutions. Alternative energy solutions such as solar and geothermal were also proposed by Performance Services. As a result, Greendale Schools is collaborating with Performance Services and has become part of a true partnership to bring efficient and effective energy solutions to the school district.
