Renewable Energy Installation at MLWGS

Posted on July 7, 2016 by Barbara Marshall

As part of our performance contact with Siemens, the final phase of our effort to reduce our energy consumption is underway.  A performance contract provides for the procurement and installation of improvement measures that are designed to meet a specified level of energy savings thereby paying for themselves in guaranteed savings.  In addition to the installation of a new building automation system, interior and exterior led lighting, and water conservation measures, our 1+ year project concludes with the installation of a solar array and vertical wind turbine.  Many thanks to our Board, Superintendents, and community for the ongoing support that brings this project to fruition.   As a Siemens engineer said today, Maggie Walker herself would be proud of the pioneering spirit that continues at this historic facility.
