Energy efficiency company Ameresco, headquartered in Framingham, announced on Tuesday it has begun the second phase of an energy and water efficiency project on behalf of the Lowell Housing Authority, marking an extension of an agreement originally signed in 2007.
Ameresco will work on improvements to heating, hot water, plumbing and lighting systems that are aimed at reducing electricity, natural gas and water usage expenses for LHA. The authority is projected to save more than $20 million over the 20-year contract term, according to Ameresco.
The work is slated to benefit over 1,500 households across eight multifamily properties in Lowell.
This second phase will focus on installing LED lighting, high-efficiency boilers and toilets, as well as updating hot water heating and air handling equipment. Ameresco will install new roofs at three LHA properties, a solar-power water heating system at one property and complete a central steam plant intended to provide heating and hot water system improvements.
"Putting our resources to work with LHA’s staff to improve their low-income elderly and family housing units will directly benefit the authority and its residents while providing additional tertiary environmental and health benefits to the community of Lowell,” said Ameresco Executive Vice President and Director David Anderson, in a press release.
