The Clarkston School District has announce that construction will officially begin next week on HVAC and solar backup system upgrades at Heights Elementary School.
According to a news release, a key part of the HVAC project involves replacing aging PVC piping with more durable copper, extending the system’s life and reliability. The addition of a solar backup system will increase the school’s resilience during power outages, while the upgraded HVAC system will improve indoor air quality, ventilation, and temperature control.
The upgrades are part of the district’s ongoin efforts to create safe, modern, and energy-efficient learning environments. The upgrades were made possible thanks to the Clarkston community’s support of the most recent capital projects vote and a grant from the Department of Commerce.
