Customer
Flushing School District is a nine building district including grades kindergarten through 12th grade.

The district was struggling to pass a bond. Trane & EM combined to do an energy project to lower the bond and help the millage pass. The customer needed to save energy and increase the look of the district for the public.

Flushing High School had a range of old lighting in the school using lots of energy dollars and a lot of maintenance dollars to keep the lights operational.
