Ameresco was reported to enter into a long-term Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) with the City of Greenville, South Carolina.

It is now in the process of a series of system upgrades that will not only save the City an estimated $330,000 annually over a 15-year term but also reduce Greenville’s carbon footprint.

As part of its initial ground work for this project with the City, Ameresco evaluated and analyzed more than 36 municipal facilities for HVAC and lighting efficiencies as well as water conservation measures.

Some notable facilities include the Greenville Zoo, the Carolina First Center, and numerous administration office buildings are part of Ameresco’s ESPC.

Construction is now underway on the identified and selected energy efficiency improvements.
