Too many construction projects STOP at installation, or before they are even finished entirely.

Quality infrastructure upgrades need ongoing performance verification and a system to continue maintaining those upgrades.

At Upper 90, we work behind the scenes to make sure your system is installed correctly, accurately, and efficiently, and keeps delivering value long after installation.

PROJECT UPDATE: Coleman School District

We are proud to support Coleman School District's commitment to providing clean, efficient, and sustainable energy for their facilities.

Here’s what’s happening on site:

- Solar modules are currently being installed onsite, providing clean and sustainable energy.
- A new chiller system is up and running, improving comfort and energy performance.

Upgrades like these aren’t just about the systems - they’re about the people that use them and benefit from them.

Public institutions can still get 30-50% of clean energy project costs back without paying taxes. We’re helping our clients tap into this funding now before it potentially goes away.

Public projects don’t just serve buildings—they serve the people serving the public.

From students in schools, to city workers in municipal buildings, our work is about creating better spaces where communities thrive.

We’re proud to support Wisconsin’s public sector with practical infrastructure that is designed to last.

Most public infrastructure projects don’t stall because of the work itself—they stall because no one’s sure how to fund them.

That is why at Upper 90, we become more than a construction company. We become partners with our clients and guide them from funding and planning, all the way through project completion. We help our clients layer grants, tax credits, rebates, and performance-backed savings to fully fund infrastructure upgrades, without touching general funds.

If funding is the barrier for your building’s upgrade, we’ll help you remove it.

How much energy is your facility wasting when no one’s there?

It’s one of the most overlooked questions in public buildings and facilities.

And for most places we walk into, the answer is: too much.
With automated controls, demand-based ventilation, and optimized HVAC schedules, we help our clients reduce energy waste without compromising comfort or operations.
These aren’t fancy upgrades - they’re smart adjustments that deliver real savings.

Your building runs 24/7, so it should be optimized, especially when unoccupied.

We are finishing up a project for the School District of Arcadia and the district finally received their rebate check from Focus on Energy earlier this week for $83,457.58 !! The district will also save over $70,000 per year on utility expenses.

The $2.3M project consisted of boiler replacements, window retrofits and replacements, HVAC retro-commissioning, destratification fans, and electric sub metering.

We're off the grid! This month we installed a 7.2 kW solar system at our office in Sun Prairie that will produce over 100% of our annual electricity usage. We also received an ENERGY STAR recognition for the building, and ironically the building scored a "90" out of 100, meaning it is more energy efficient than 90% of similar buildings nationwide. Proud to be practicing what we preach!
