Description

What is ESCO?

Energy Services Companies (ESCO) specialize in conducting facility assessments with the goal of identifying projects and solutions to improve infrastructure, conserve energy, reduce energy costs, and decrease operations and maintenance costs. ESCO projects are typically a collection of smaller projects whereby the collective energy and financial savings can be used to offset the cost of the funding required to implement the improvements.  Only projects that provide sufficient estimated energy savings within a specific time period are recommended for inclusion and implementation.  This is because the financial value of projects developed by ESCO are directly linked to the actual energy cost savings.  

 Sustainability Impact

The proposed energy conservation and infrastructure improvement projects are estimated to reduce electrical consumption by 1,640,000 kWh annually and natural gas consumption by 23,172 therms annually and also reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by 862 metric tons.   

The positive environmental impacts associated with the proposed energy conservation and infrastructure improvements are consistent with City’s goals for positive environmental impact by reducing greenhouse gas emissions as identified in the General Plan.
