The project is designed to enable the commonwealth to realize energy savings of 5% to 15%, ultimately achieving an expected $10m per year in energy savings when deployed.
The initial three-year project includes deploying EnerNOC’s energy management applications at more than 17 million square feet of state-owned office buildings, colleges and universities, state prisons, state hospitals, and other public buildings, delivering critical real-time energy information to over 1,000 professionals in the commonwealth.
Three of EnerNOC’s energy management applications will be deployed to drive energy savings: SiteSMART, data-driven energy efficiency; SupplySMART, energy bill analysis and risk management; and CarbonSMART, enterprise carbon management.
The CarbonSMART deployment will represent the carbon accounting software-as-a-service project in the US. The relationship between EnerNOC and the commonwealth may extend for an additional three years to implement phase II, covering an additional 40 to 50 million square feet of state building space.
Tim Healy, chairman and CEO of EnerNOC, said: “Nationwide, as state and local budgets are under intense pressure, legislators are increasingly recognizing that energy management is not only an environmental imperative, but also a financial necessity with the potential to deliver significant relief to taxpayers.
“Massachusetts spends over $200m on energy every year. Leveraging EnerNOC’s application-driven approach to identify, implement, and track savings on electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, steam, water, and renewable energy resources is a cost-effective way to deliver substantial energy savings year after year, making an immediate impact on the Massachusetts economy.”
