Energy efficiency project in rural Tennessee is
resulting in recurring energy cost savings and enhancing the
quality of municipally-owned buildings
Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE: AMRC), a leading energy efficiency and
energy infrastructure company, today announced the successful
energy efficiency project serving the municipal government
buildings of Stewart County, Tennessee. Ameresco installed multiple
energy conservation measures to eight local government facilities,
including administrative buildings, a courthouse, and emergency
medical services (EMS) facilities. The project has successfully
reduced utility and operational costs year-over-year since its
completion in 2016.
“Stewart County is a great case study for how small municipal
governments can modernize their buildings through energy efficiency
upgrades and realize a continued return on investment,” said Louis
P. Maltezos, Executive Vice President, Ameresco. “By upgrading
building energy systems and installing new windows and doors, the
County’s buildings are far more cost-effective to operate and
maintain.”
“Stewart County has saved over $28,000 in utility and
operational expenses in the first year as result of this project,”
said Rickie D. Joiner, Stewart County Mayor. “The lighting and HVAC
systems are highly-efficient and have also improved the quality of
air and light in the County’s buildings. This has been a successful
partnership to realize cost savings and improve our facilities
within our community.”
Ameresco implemented the $515,960 modernization project under an
Energy Services Agreement and provides a guarantee of annual energy
savings to the County through 2028. Funding for the project was
complemented with a $250,000 Clean Tennessee Energy Grant and over
$20,000 in utility rebates and rate savings. Energy improvements
were made to the Courthouse, County Library, Courthouse Annex,
Administrative Building, and three EMS Facilities which provide
ambulatory services.
More than 950 lighting fixtures were replaced or retrofitted
with highly efficient interior and exterior LED lighting systems.
HVAC and boiler control upgrades, as well as new windows and doors,
were installed in multiple buildings. Advanced lighting controls
were also installed to the County’s Visitors Center which serves as
a community center and museum. New windows, high volume fans, and
upgraded lighting have dramatically improved the functionality and
occupancy comfort of the Courthouse.
Stewart County is a rural municipality located in central
Tennessee. The county seat is located in Dover, Tennessee.
