Facility : Blue Ledge Apartment
Location: Roslindale, MA
Applied Efficiency Measure
- Smart Thermostat Implemtation (pending)
- HVAC System Upgrade (pending)
- Lighting Upgrade
Project Description
At Blue Ledge, BES developed three projects: smart thermostat implementation, HVAC, and lighting upgrade.
Utilizing our savings calculator, BES proposed utility savings in both gas and electric worth of around $16,000 per year from new programmable thermostat implementation.
For HVAC system upgrade, BES also used savings calculator to predict gas savings from upgrading the existing roof top unit insulation.
Including generating savings calculation for the thermostat and HVAC upgrade projects, BES submitted proposals to utility programs to apply project cost funding.
Since the building was built in 1995, all lighting fixtures are outdated, so BES proposed and completed upgrading lightings to new LED fixtures.
