The project addresses energy and water
conservation facility improvements while also supporting the
County’s commitment to sustainability
Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE:AMRC), a leading energy efficiency and
renewable energy company today announced the acceptance by
Multnomah County Board of Commissioners for a comprehensive energy
savings performance contract (ESPC) that is expected to save the
County $239,000 a year in water, gas and electricity costs.
Ameresco was selected to conduct the efficiency measures after
being awarded the contract through a competitive Request for
Qualifications process for project development of conservation
projects at County facilities.
Under the ESPC, Ameresco conducted an energy audit of nearly
676,000 square feet of space and identified energy conservation
measures (ECMs) that the Company will design, construct,
commission, and verify. The nearly $2.5 million project includes
lighting upgrades, new controls, heating ventilation and cooling
(HVAC) enhancements, and water conservation improvements at both
the Inverness Jail and Juvenile Justice Complex. In addition to the
annual savings noted, Multnomah County will also receive $230,000
in incentives and grants that Ameresco helped secure, contributing
to maximum savings for the project.
“Working with Ameresco on these much-needed improvements is a
win-win for Multnomah County,” stated Jules Bailey, County
Commissioner, District 1. “Not only does it allow for the County to
use operational and energy savings to help pay for significant
improvements, saving taxpayers money, it also allows the County to
make tremendous strides toward our Climate Action Plan goals by
reducing our energy and water usage at the Juvenile Justice Complex
and Inverness Jail.”
“Our commitment starts with addressing our own assets,” said
Eric Winn, Energy and Utility Specialist for Multnomah County.
“Launching this work with Ameresco’s support and expertise allows
us to invest in our County-owned buildings, not only significantly
upgrading each facility’s operational efficiency and comfort, but
also helping us to achieve a core goal in our overall plan.”
“It’s a pleasure for Ameresco to partner with a County that is
an environmental leader, and one that has embraced sustainability
and instituted a tangible climate action plan,” said Louis
Maltezos, Executive Vice President, Ameresco. “Working with the
Multnomah County, Ameresco was able to identify a variety of energy
saving efficiency measures enabling the County to select projects
that are expected to deliver the greatest return and support their
goals.”
The project is expected to be completed in 2017.
