"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."

“[Smart Building Solutions] is true to their name. Their deep working knowledge of every type of energy system helped our hospital approach our energy problems intelligently, so that we could better focus on serving our patients. Through their Energy Master Plan, we are saving more than enough money to pay for the project. Most impressively, the [Smart Building Solutions] team took the time to understand our concerns and our constraints so that we were comfortable. Now our buildings will perform as well as our hospitals have for years.”

“Bristol City Leap brings together the best of the public and the private sector – a partnership between Bristol City Council and Ameresco. We will create 1000 jobs over the next five years, many of which will be local jobs for Bristol people within Bristol postcodes. We’ll also deliver a great deal of funding to communities to enable community organisations, smaller organisations, charities, and community groups to deliver their own projects.”

“Our focus is always to ensure the needs of our patients come first, and this project definitely will afford greater comfort. The energy infrastructure project with Ameresco provides a significantly more reliable and efficient heat and hot water system for the entire hospital and allows us to accommodate the expansion plans currently underway. In addition, the project development scheme was specifically designed to make sure we didn’t have any disruptions in our day-to-day delivery of patient services during implementation of the project.”

“In 2019, Bank of America reached Carbon Neutrality through efforts like this project. While it is a good start, we aim to be Net Zero before 2050. Not only is it one of the largest ‘behind the meter’ solar projects west of Ohio, but it also gives our employees something they’ve been asking for, great covered parking spaces.”

“The various facility enhancements represent real cost savings, provide improved environmental conditions, and represent our most significant achievement in sustainable campus energy management.”

“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.”

“The implementation of these sustainable solutions ensures that our campus facilities and student offerings fit the culture we’ve built our institution on. I’m thrilled that we’re incorporating innovative technologies into our campus design and entering into a new era of environmental responsibility.”

“The Ameresco staff have been extremely professional and great to work with. Communication was never lacking, and they have been quick to notify me of situations that impacted the work being done.”

"When the construction is complete, the Academy will reduce total electricity imported from the grid by nearly 80 percent. The appreciable benefit to the neighborhood and region could not have been possible without the two years of planning and design efforts and the partnership between our Coast Guard engineers, Eversource management, and the technical team from Ameresco."

“The use of energy performance contracts allows the Coast Guard to address critical infrastructure improvements in a timeframe that would be unachievable with customary methods and provides holistic solutions to complex issues. Leveraging partnerships and finding unique solutions is how the Coast Guard is able to accomplish mission critical improvements with our limited resources.”

“Yampa Valley Electric Association is proud to be part of this landmark project that will create locally-generated electricity for our communities. This initiative perfectly aligns with our mission to provide reliable and sustainable energy solutions to our stakeholders.”

“Recovering the hidden fuel in our wastewater treatment processes helps to diversify our energy portfolio, while improving the environment through innovative, green technology.”

“We are thankful to Ameresco with whom we forged a good partnership to achieve maximum reuse of materials from the former hospital and demonstrate that sustainable deconstruction can be successfully implemented to help advance circular economy goals and environmental development. To meet our climate goals and lower our total carbon impact, it is essential to incorporate all opportunities for reuse, especially of elements, like steel and concrete that take a large amount of energy to make.”

"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."
