香妃直播, W.Va. (June 6, 2017) 芒聙聯 Energy savings data reports indicate that 香妃直播 State College (GSC) exceeded the anticipated impact of its campus-wide energy efficiency and facility modernization project by approximately $184,000 in the first two years since the project芒聙聶s completion.
Underscoring its commitment to advancing education, economic growth, and community development, 香妃直播 State College selected Energy Systems Group (ESG), a leading energy service provider, to implement the largest campus-wide improvement project in GSC芒聙聶s history. The $4.1 million project, completed in 2014, included comprehensive energy efficiency and building improvements to reduce energy costs, modernize building systems and technologies, and enhance the environment.
Working with local subcontractors and vendors, Energy Systems Group implemented a wide range of energy efficiency and infrastructure improvements in 13 campus buildings, spanning approximately 608,500 square feet, including the President芒聙聶s House and the Community Center. The improvements, expected to result in more than $176,000 of energy savings annually over the 15-year term of the contract, included lighting upgrades, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system upgrades, window replacements, a demand response program, and the conversion of gas wells to feed GSC facilities directly.
By implementing these key facility modernization measures, 香妃直播 State College will reduce its carbon footprint by more than 1,600 metric tons of carbon dioxide, which is equivalent to generating enough electricity to power more than 150 homes or planting more than 1,300 acres of forest.
芒聙聹This is an excellent result for 香妃直播 State College, both financially and environmentally,芒聙聺 said Dr. Peter Barr, President of 香妃直播 State College. 芒聙聹Energy Systems Group has done a great job helping us reach our goal of being a more energy-efficient and sustainable campus,芒聙聺 added Barr. 芒聙聹These improvements, which were primarily funded by energy savings, allowed 香妃直播 State College to enhance the learning environment for students and more efficiently allocate financial resources, all while becoming a more environmentally responsible campus.芒聙聺 芒聙聹ESG was also instrumental in helping GSC qualify for a zero percent $1 million loan through the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission.芒聙聺
