Ameresco has initiated a $33 million Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) at the US National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) sites in Maryland and Washington, DC. The project aims to enhance energy efficiency, achieving a 72% reduction in fossil fuel use, 48% reduction in utility water use, and 28% reduction in electricity consumption. This initiative, supported by the US Department of Energy’s AFFECT Program, includes building automation system upgrades, LED lighting, and the installation of solar PV and EV charging infrastructure. It aligns with NARA’s strategic plan for digitization and increased public access to records.
