UMass Amherst implemented an advanced energy storage system alongside their solar PV array to optimize energy use, generate revenue, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The campus' battery storage system not only provides flexibility in energy management but also contributes significantly to peak demand reduction, saving over $200,000 annually and enhancing grid reliability. This project earned UMass Amherst the 2020 Innovation Award for Energy Storage & Microgrids.
This 46-unit building significantly reduced water consumption by 53.7% after implementing a water savings program that installed proprietary toilet valves. The project led to annual savings of $30,000, achieving a positive ROI in just over 6 months.
Upgraded to include energy-efficient boilers and a web-based BMS, yielding $259,100 in annual energy savings with a $1.66M 10-year positive cashflow.
HVAC, lighting, and plumbing upgrades across 12 multifamily buildings, saving $9.6M in energy costs with 100% financing for deferred CapEx.
