Energy conservation measures at ADOC facilities in phases two and three of the project are funded by excess guaranteed savings from the original phase of work and incremental guaranteed savings over the life of the 20-year contract.

The parties’ original $27.2m contract included about $11m in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) through the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs.

Phase two of the project features improvements that include heating, ventilation and air conditioning upgrades, new domestic hot water systems and new roofs at selected locations.

Phase three centers on improvements to buildings on the Wetumpka campus that ADOC previously acquired from the Alabama Board of Pardons and Parole.

The phase three project will decentralize heating and cooling systems, improve water conservation and upgrade lighting.
