Pepco Energy Services chief executive officer John Huffman said: "ESPC continues to be a valuable tool for the army and federal government to reduce energy use and costs, enhance energy security and provide funding for facility improvements that may otherwise not go forward in today’s budgetary environment."
The contract includes addition of new windows for three of Natick’s largest buildings; enhancements to building envelope; new LED lighting and installation of a new non-proprietary energy management controls system (EMCS).
In addition, the contract also includes deployment of a packaged cogeneration system that would generate on-site electricity and provide economical heating and cooling to some of the buildings through the use of waste heat.
Throughout the 23-year performance term of the ESPC, Pepco Energy Services will offer complete measurement and verification services for assured savings, in addition to ongoing maintenance of the cogeneration system.
