Investment in energy efficiencies at County
facilities supports Chester County Commissioners’ strategic goals
for the environment
Constellation, a leading competitive retail energy supplier, and
Chester County today announced the completion of a project
involving the installation of $5.9 million in energy and water
conservation measures that is expected to provide $6.7 million in
energy and water cost savings over a 15-year period. The
conservation measures will help the County save an estimated 2.2
million kilowatt-hours in electricity and more than 18 million
gallons of water every year.
“Through our strategic plan focus on the environment, we have
already taken great strides to reduce energy usage within
county-owned buildings,” said Terence Farrell, Chester County
Commissioners’ Chair. “This project reflects our continued
commitment to implement water and energy saving measures for the
good of the environment, but that also have the benefit of bringing
a monetary return to the county.”
Constellation installed energy and water conservation and
facility improvements at various buildings including the County
administration building, the Historic Courthouse and the Government
Services Center in West Chester, and the Henrietta Hankin Library.
The conservation measures include smart electric meters, energy
efficient lighting including LED fixtures, steam efficiency
improvements, kitchen hood controls, insulation blankets, low flow
toilets, sinks and showers, cooling tower meters, HVAC equipment
replacements, ozone laundry systems and building automation system
upgrades.
“Energy performance contracting is a valuable resource for
public entities to leverage their existing operational budget for
needed capital improvements,” said Gary Fromer, senior vice
president, distributed energy for Constellation. “Constellation
commends Chester County for its focus on the environment and
efforts to reduce energy usage within county-owned buildings, and
looks forward to continuing to work with the County to achieve its
sustainability goals.”
The measures are designed and expected to avoid the creation of
more than 1,500 tons of carbon dioxide during the term, and have
the same benefit to the environment as removing 319 passenger
vehicles from the road annually, according to U.S. EPA data for the
region.
