The project will be financed with a $1.3m grant that USNH secured as a part of $71m stimulus money appropriated to New Hampshire’s Office of Energy and Planning for energy projects with $10.7m directed to reducing energy consumption in NH State-owned building.
The contract requires IESC to implement lighting retrofits for buildings on the Keene, Plymouth and Durham campuses, with the installation of energy efficient lighting and motion sensor switches to provide cost saving to the university system.
Interstate Electrical Services vice president of northern service Jamie Boilard with increased focus on reducing energy consumption lighting is one of the most obvious targets.
"By taking the time to really understand your lighting needs and then installing energy efficient lighting fixtures combined with motion sensors where appropriate you can not only dramatically reduce energy usage, but create a pleasing work environment," Boilard with.
