Case Study
Lloydminster Public School Division (LPSD)
EndoTherm was piloted across two key Lloydminster Public School Division (LPSD) facilities: ES Laird Middle School and Winston Churchill Elementary School. Both buildings represent typical educational infrastructure challenges, with substantial heating requirements due to Canada’s harsh winter climate.
Lloydminster Public School Division (LPSD) serves the border community of Lloydminster, spanning Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. As a forward-thinking educational institution, LPSD operates multiple facilities across the region, providing quality education whilst maintaining a strong commitment to environmental responsibility and operational efficiency.
The school division recognises the importance of sustainable practices and energy management, particularly in the face of rising energy costs and increasing environmental awareness within the community they serve.
These facilities rely on natural gas heating systems for both space heating (HVAC) and domestic hot water provision. The buildings’ energy consumption patterns follow typical school usage, with heating demands varying significantly based on seasonal temperature fluctuations and occupancy schedules.
The schools’ heating systems presented an ideal opportunity to demonstrate EndoTherm’s effectiveness in real-world educational environments, where energy efficiency improvements can deliver both immediate cost savings and long-term sustainability benefits.

Educational institutions face mounting pressure to reduce operational costs whilst maintaining comfortable learning environments. For many Canadian institutions, the challenge is particularly acute given:
Escalating Energy Costs: Rising natural gas prices significantly impact operational budgets, with heating representing a substantial portion of annual energy expenditure.
Climate Demands: Canada’s severe winter conditions require intensive heating systems, making energy efficiency improvements both challenging and essential.
Sustainability Commitments: Many public institutions face increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and work towards net-zero commitments. Educational facilities must lead by example in environmental stewardship.
Budget Constraints: Public school divisions operate within tight financial constraints, requiring energy efficiency solutions that deliver rapid return on investment whilst maintaining heating performance.
Community Expectations: Parents, staff, and the broader community expect educational institutions to operate responsibly and demonstrate environmental leadership.
The need for proven, cost-effective solutions that could deliver immediate energy savings without compromising heating performance or requiring significant capital investment was paramount.
EndoTherm’s installation delivered substantial environmental benefits for LPSD, demonstrating the technology’s potential for educational sector decarbonisation.
During the pilot period the sites saved 19,770kg CO2e, proving that EndoTherm can play a crucial role in helping educational institutions meet their environmental commitments without compromising operational performance. This GHG reduction is equivalent to:
