Overview
Ideal Energy began working with the Glenburn, ND School District in early ’24 to help them convert the school interior to LED. Ideal Energy was able to secure a ND State Energy Grant for 50% of the project cost which made the payback just under 2 years for the district. 475 new wattage and color selectable LED flat panels were installed in classes along with new LED lamps retrofitted in other areas.
