NORESCO는 에너지 효율 및 에너지 인프라 솔루션의 국가적 선도 기업으로 조지아 교정국(Georgia Department of Corrections)과 주 전역에 걸쳐 5개 구역에 대한 2천800만 달러 규모의 에너지 절감 성능에 관한 계약을 체결했다.

 

이 프로젝트는 보일러 플랜트에서 가정용 온수 개선, 장비 개량 및 제어를 통한 물절약 효과, 히터·환풍기·에어컨의 성능 신뢰도 향상 등 핵심적인 3가지 요소를 포함한다. 또한 조명·에너지 관리 제어 시스템·냉각기·물처리·배관·절연처리 능력 등을 향상시킨다.

 

 

 

NORESCO, a national leader in energy efficiency and energy infrastructure solutions, has won a $28 million guaranteed energy savings performance contract with the Georgia Department of Corrections for work at five sites across the state. Improvements will be delivered at Arrendale State Prison, Georgia Diagnostic & Classification Prison, Georgia State Prison, Hays State Prison and Wilcox State Prison.

 

The project includes reconfiguration of three central boiler plants along with domestic hot water improvements, significant water conservation gains through equipment retrofits and controls and improved reliability and performance through heating, ventilating and air conditioning upgrades. The project also improves lighting, energy management control systems, chillers, water treatment, piping and insulation.

 

"Paying for building maintenance and improvements is an ongoing challenge for many state agencies, particularly departments of corrections. NORESCO is honored to work with the Georgia Department of Corrections to address infrastructure improvements, reliability and energy and water efficiency," said Jim Williams, regional general manager, NORESCO.

 

As a result of this project, carbon dioxide emissions are projected to decline by more than 25 percent from their baseline. Other environmental pollutants, including nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides, will also decline, making overall emissions improvements equivalent to removing 1,442 cars from the road for one year.
