Ameresco developed, engineered and is constructing 14 fully self-funding energy conservation measures throughout the district.
These measures include: lighting system improvements, lighting controls integrated management system, a new energy management system, Vending Mizers, PC load management, boiler replacements, kitchen hood controls, water conservation, kitchen pre-rinse sprayer, energy procurement, window replacements, infiltration reductions, ice storage schedule modifications, and energy efficient transformers.
Over the 15-year term of the agreement, the project is designed to generate more than $5,270,000 in energy and facility operational cost savings for the district.
The district is expected to realize over 23% in savings off its current total annual facility operational spend, when the construction is complete.
This New Jersey ESIP legislation allows for project funding to be realized through the guaranteed energy cost savings of the project.
In total, over the 15-year project, it is estimated that it will negate over 10,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, the equivalent of taking 1,784 passenger vehicles off the road.
