Alston Middle School, located in Summerville, SC, serves students in grades 6 through 8 with an enrollment of approximately 880 students and 116,000 square feet of space.
The majority of the lighting for classrooms and office areas are higher efficiency T-8 linear fluorescent light fixtures. The gym lighting was upgraded from 400 Watt metal halide lighting to T-8 high output linear fluorescent lighting.
The school’s heating and cooling equipment is comprised mainly of split systems with direct digital controls (DDC) for temperature control and scheduling of this equipment. The DDC system employs technologies to limit power consumption and equipment operational time while maintaining a comfortable environment. The DDC system was installed approximately 20 years ago.
Dorchester School District Two’s Facilities Department remotely controls and monitors the school's energy usage. The Facilities Department also performs all equipment and after-hour scheduling as requested by the school.

Testimonial:
“The energy improvements DD2 has made to AMS have not adversely affected our occupant comfort. We also are aware of the fact that DD2 intends to install new AC/heating units in the near future. These new units should substantially cut AMS' energy usage as our existing units are quite old.”
-- Bob King, Assistant Principal, Alston Middle School
