With little or no up-front cost, under an EPC, an energy services company (ESCO) guarantees the savings that will be generated by energy-efficient improvements. These pledged savings enable districts to redirect portions of their utility operating budgets into infrastructure improvements.   An Energy Strategy That Helps Tackle Deferred Maintenance Challenges »

 

Solar and Wind Are Not Alone When It Comes To Green Energy

Although solar and wind power are currently two of the better-known sources of green power, there are other technologies available for which ConEdison Solutions has the expertise to guide you on your way to a greener facility. Biomass boilers work by consuming organic material to generate heat. Pulp and paper mills have burned woodchips for centuries, but over the past 20 years these types of boilers have become very efficient, clean sources of heat.

ConEdison Solutions installed the first wood chip-burning biomass boilers in the State of Rhode Island at the Foster-Glocester School District. These high-efficiency, computer-controlled boilers burn local woodchips as their fuel, thereby saving over 80% of the cost of heating with fuel oils, the schools only alternative. The biomass boiler is just one way that ConEdison Solutions is helping facilities achieve energy efficiency on our way to a greener environment.
