WESTBOROUGH, Mass.,
Oct. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Two
Federal Bureau of Prisons sites will receive energy and water
efficiency and capital infrastructure upgrades through an energy
savings performance contract (ESPC) with NORESCO: United States
Penitentiary (USP) Marion,
Illinois, and Federal Correctional Institution (FCI)
Milan, Michigan. The $25 million ESPC will help the Federal Bureau of
Prisons progress toward the energy and water reduction goals set
through the federal energy mandates. NORESCO, a national leader in
energy efficiency and energy infrastructure solutions, is a part of
UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies
Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
The ESPC project should reduce water consumption by 33 percent
and electricity use by 20 percent at USP Marion and should reduce
water consumption by 40 percent and electricity use by 22 percent
at FCI Milan. The facility improvements to be implemented under the
ESPC are expected to generate more than $1.2
million in annual cost savings. The project is funded
entirely through guaranteed savings, requiring no upfront capital
investment from the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
"The FCI Milan and USP Marion energy conservation measures
demonstrate what can be accomplished with a focused energy and
institution team that understands the value of a well-structured
ESPC project to modernize facilities and make significant progress
toward energy and water reduction goals," said Michael Beccaria, senior vice president and
general manager, NORESCO. "The comprehensive project includes
upgrading to LED lighting and occupancy controls technologies,
transitioning to new state-of the-art building controls, replacing
the primary steam and condensate distribution system, and upgrading
water fixtures and controls along with new water softening plants
and boiler controls. We are honored by a long-standing business
relationship with the Federal Bureau of Prisons and are excited to
implement this important project."
Since 2003, NORESCO has contracted with the Federal Bureau of
Prisons for more than $130 million in
building system improvements funded by savings from energy and
water reductions.
