Kountze ISD
K-12 Schools | Central Texas
The E3/TASB team was unanimously approved by the Kountze ISD Board of Trustees to implement a district-wide energy-efficiency and facility-improvement program at Kountze ISD, located just north of Beaumont. This comprehensive project, consisting of new HVAC systems, new LED lighting systems, installation of new energy management systems, and retro-commissioning, was funded by a Qualified Zone Academy Bond (QZAB) through the Texas Education Agency and repaid with savings derived from the project.

The project helped the school district avoid costs of approximately $83,000 annually and included a one-time utility rebate of over $40,000. The project was completed in seven months. The low-interest QZAB loan, mixed with the corresponding MandO reductions, helped Kountze ISD upgrade their facilities even in the face of tightening budgets.
The comprehensive project included:
- Major HVAC retrofit and replacements at Kountze High School and Kountze Intermediate
- Energy management control system installation at Kountze High School
- District-wide LED lighting upgrade
- Retro-Commissioning of the Middle School and Lion’s Den
- Electrical upgrade at Kountze High School
