Armstrong offers a combination of new thinking and new technologies to help schools and universities meet the challenges of energy efficiency and cost reduction. Armstrong has helped dozens of educational facilities with retrofit projects to consolidate existing systems, improve occupant comfort, eliminate maintenance headaches and reduce energy usage. Most administrators in educational institutions aren't fully aware of the scale of potential savings available. In some instances the energy savings from a retrofit project will offer payback within a year, so that the equipment and installation costs can be paid for immediately out of the savings.
