EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
DeKalb County Schools currently have iNTREO© Energy Management Systems controlling their HVAC equipment in all of
their school facilities throughout the county (See Maintained Sites). Currently, DeKalb County Schools partners with CCI to
help effectively manage, operate, and maintain their buildings. The Energy Management System controls the Heating,
Ventilation & Air Conditioning Systems which include the Central Plants, Air Handling Units, Roof Top Units and terminal
units throughout each facility. In addition, the EMS System monitors instantaneous energy usage and performs
appropriate load shedding strategies.

CCI’s focus will be partnering with the Dekalb County School District and protecting their assets and investments. Our
Preventative Maintenance program will accomplish this goal and maintain the integrity of these systems by anticipating
potential problems which could arise before they affect the operation of the building. This service agreement will also
serve to assist DeKalb County System Operators to more effectively manage, operate, and maintain these critical facility
systems. We look forward to being an extended resource to your staff for Energy Management System needs as well as
Integrated Security System needs.
