The ESPC requires Ameresco to perform much needed upgrades to the school’s facility infrastructure over the ten-week summer break.
Ameresco, along with the Illinois State Board of Education and an independent consulting engineering firm, evaluated structural and environmental improvements.
The $1.1m initial phase of the contract was signed in March 2012.
Under the current project, Ameresco is performing energy efficiency and environmental improvements such as replacing aged infrastructure materials for health, life and safety purposes, implementing ADA accessibility improvements and performing power upgrades.
As part of the ESPC, Ameresco will oversee procurement, design, construction, commissioning and project management.
The district issued HLS bonds to fund the project and will realize guaranteed energy and capital savings over the finance period.
