“The innovative, tri-level renewable solution for Parking Lot 1 is the most unique aspect of our project, and is the first of its kind in Massachusetts. Beneath the parking lot, we have 115 geothermal wells, 500-feet deep, to function as our heating and cooling source. On the surface, we have parking for 320 cars, in addition to electric charging stations for up to 6 cars. Above the lot, we have a solar canopy with a 1 million kWH/year electric generation capacity, providing renewable energy. This renewable solution provides tremendous strides in supporting and help to achieve our sustainability goals.”

"It makes good economic and business sense for the City to install new LED street lights and a wireless control system that reduce energy use by more than 60 percent while improving illumination, safety and addressing dark sky considerations. In addition to dramatic energy and maintenance savings, the control system will also enable us to move to a lower cost metered rate schedule that provides further cost reductions."

“We are thankful to our partners at Ameresco for helping us maximize our investment in clean energy and for producing work that will enable the city to lower our electricity consumption and emissions, and in turn move us towards our goal of carbon neutrality.”

“The City of Wichita Falls has owned its own street lighting system for 35 years. With Ameresco’s help, the City was able to reduce its street lighting electrical budget from $1.1 million to $250,000 per year!”

"The billing accuracy, as well as the improvement in customer service, made this project well worth the money."

"Ameresco has proven that as a remoze pnme contractor they have the capacity to deliver an ambitious conservation project Involving major design and construction effort. They have effectively coordinated local partners. including a high percentage of both Section 3 and MWBE contractors. for the work with the CHA."

“Phase 1 is projected to save £315,726 and 675 tonnes of carbon equivalent (tCO2e) each year – these savings being guaranteed by Ameresco under an Energy Performance Contract. Working with Ameresco has allowed us to accelerate the roll-out of our energy efficiency programme in a more comprehensive manner and at a greater pace than could be achieved using limited in-house resources. We look forward to developing further phases to help us become a net zero carbon local authority by 2030.”

“Through the installation of these solar panels, and at no cost to the Town, Natick will realize significant savings in our energy budget while improving the environment through greenhouse gas emission reductions.”

“We have a unique opportunity to update our municipal buildings and exterior lighting in a way that preserves Boston’s character and aligns with our broader environmental goals. I am excited to work on ensuring our city is saving energy and the associated costs while bringing us closer to our net zero goals.”

“The importance of reducing carbon emissions is becoming ever more important, with Welsh Government setting targets for the Public Sector to be Carbon Neutral by 2030. Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council is using the REFIT Cymru project to optimise the energy efficiency of our properties, to improve the condition of our schools, to reduce CO2 emissions and to save money. The Council and Ameresco worked in close partnership to ensure the optimal solution was identified, taking the requirements of all stakeholders into account during the process. Following multiple detailed site visits, in-depth data analysis and discussions with occupants of the buildings in scope, Ameresco is implementing extensive Energy Conservation Measures across Council buildings.”

“The Ameresco team was strategic and timely in auditing and assessing hundreds of facilities across the state, creating a useful database of detailed information. The cost-effective and turnkey delivery of the project encouraged us to change order additional scope at two of our regional maintenance facilities and to introduce our Ferries division to the Ameresco team.”

"We engaged Ameresco to implement AssetPlanner to help us manage our portfolio of campuses, facilities, and fleet in a complex environment. We wanted software that was easy to use, intuitive, and supported our business processes to enable better decision making at both the campus and HQ level. It was key for us that the software was well supported, and training was designed to encourage its use as a single source of truth across our organization. AssetPlanner helps us plan for capital improvements, manage maintenance activities, and track our energy and sustainability data for compliance reporting."

"This ESPC project is probably the most comprehensive ESPC ever entered into by the Navy, involving 121 buildings (3.1 million square feet total) and 20 energy conservation measures (ECMs). This will result in MCRD Parris Island reducing their energy consumption by 384,962 million BTUs (79%) and water consumption by 74.6 million gallons (27%) annually. I think the team at Parris Island, with this ESPC, may have just redefined a ‘deep energy retrofit!"

“The project investment has enabled us to significantly reduce our energy consumption across a range of sites, resulting in lower carbon emissions and energy costs and assisting us in our aim of achieving net-zero emissions.”

"No matter how you look at it, this project is a win-win. It helps us achieve our overall efficiency and sustainability goals while reducing energy consumption and energy costs, and provides critical upgrades to important ski area infrastructure."
