The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resource (DOER) has awarded EnerNOC Inc. a contract to help reduce energy costs at more than 470 state-owned facilities. The project seeks to achieve energy savings of 5 to 15 percent, with an ultimate goal of saving $10 million annually.
As part of a three-year project, EnerNOC, a Boston-based energy management firm, will deploy its energy management applications, including software for energy efficiency, energy bill analysis and risk management, and carbon management, at more than 17 million square feet of state buildings. Those buildings include state office buildings, colleges, prisons and hospitals.
According to EnerNOC, the CarbonSMART deployment will be the largest carbon accounting software-as-a-service project in the U.S.
After the initial three-year project, the state and EnerNOC may extend the relationship for an additional three years to cover an additional 40 to 50 million square feet of state building space.
Tim Healy, chairman and CEO of EnerNOC said in a press release, “Massachusetts spends over $200 million on energy every year. Leveraging EnerNOC’s application-driven approach to identify, implement and track savings on electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, steam, water and renewable energy resources is a cost-effective way to deliver substantial energy savings year after year, making an immediate impact on the Massachusetts economy.”
EnerNOC provides energy management to a variety of utilities and large enterprises by reducing real-time demand for electricity, increasing energy efficiency, improving energy supply transparency in competitive markets, and mitigating emissions.
