This NARA ESPC project is the latest in a series of energy
projects that Ameresco has undertaken in collaboration with NARA
over the past 20 years. Ameresco is implementing building
automation system (BAS) modernization with advanced sequencing,
optimization of heating and cooling systems, building transformer
replacements, LED lighting, building envelope improvements, piping
insulation, and utility water reduction at NARA’s flagship
facilities. Together, these measures are designed to reduce annual
fossil fuel consumption by 72%, utility water use by 48%, and
electricity use by 28%.
Thanks to a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Assisting
Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies (AFFECT)
Program, NARA and Ameresco are now collaborating to add more energy
efficient infrastructure into the project featuring more solar
rooftop PV, a new chiller, and electrical vehicle (EV)
Charging.
The ESPC delivery model was critical to NARA’s ability to
replace aging infrastructure and reduce their energy consumption
and carbon emissions. On previous ESPC projects supporting NARA,
Ameresco deployed high-efficiency equipment to address legacy
infrastructure issues, harvesting substantial savings. This latest
ESPC is focused on bringing NARA’s facilities closer to net-zero
emissions as required by Executive Order-14057.
“Working closely with NARA, Ameresco developed this project in
support of the Agency’s modernization efforts with zero-dollar
capital outlay and NARA’s Strategic Plan of increased public access
to federal records through digitization and on-line delivery” said
Nicole Bulgarino, Executive Vice President, and General Manager at
Ameresco. "Working in collaboration with Ameresco for almost two
decades, NARA's leadership in embracing sustainable solutions
serves as a playbook for federal agencies nationwide. Together, we
will continue to drive energy efficiency and positive change.”
