Framingham’s Ameresco has secured a $20.1 million energy efficiency contract with Roxbury Community College.
The renewable energy company will upgrade the college’s energy infrastructure and add renewable energy resources on campus in part to help achieve a green urban campus. The contract is set to be complete by the end of 2017 with a projected $860,000 in savings for the school annually, according to a release from Ameresco.
In addition to lighting upgrades, a geothermal heat pump system with a canopied Solar Photovoltaic System overhead will be built on campus. This system has an approximately 400-ton capacity, according to Ameresco. The approximately 3,000 solar panels that will be installed represent nearly a megawatt of power.
Once completed, the environmental benefits for this project include an annual emissions reduction of approximately 5,689,934 pounds of CO2, the equivalent of taking 545 cars off the road or planting 2,443 acres of U.S. forests annually.
