Implemented facility upgrades will reduce
utility and operational costs
Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator
specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, today
announced the first phase completion of its $3.5 million energy
conservation project with Baltimore City Public Schools (City
Schools). As part of the project, Ameresco provided facility
lighting upgrades and enhancements to improve the energy efficiency
of 15 school buildings within City Schools.
The project consisted of replacing existing interior and
exterior lighting with LED lighting. Compared to the existing
lighting, LEDs are more energy efficient, need less maintenance,
and provide good quality light for students and staff. Some of the
lighting also included occupancy sensors so that the lights will
turn off automatically when no one is present. The project is
estimated to earn City Schools a $500,000 rebate from BGE, the
local utility, and save over $400,000 annually in lower electricity
costs. The 15 schools include elementary, middle, and high schools
located throughout Baltimore City.
“Partnering with Ameresco on this project has provided the
improvements we needed. Their support and expertise helped us
navigate this important project smoothly and without disturbing
student learning,” said Dr. Lynette Washington, Chief Operating
Officer. “From the initial investment grade audit to the completion
of this first phase of work, Ameresco has helped us generate energy
savings and provide enhanced learning environments for our
students.”
“With the completion of this project, we continue to expand our
presence as a leading provider of energy-efficient solutions to
educational institutions across the country. In fact, this project
marks our first K-12 energy conservation project in Maryland, and
we’re eager to continue our progress of implementing energy
efficient and renewable solutions across the state and fostering a
cleaner world for generations to come,” said Pete Christakis,
Senior Vice President, Construction and Operations, Ameresco.
Construction began in November 2021 and reached completion by
May 2022. A second phase of energy efficiency upgrades will be
discussed between Ameresco and City Schools in the coming
months.
