The esco will provide an investment grade audit and recommend energy conservation measures based on merit. This is approximately a $4,300,000 performance contract guaranteed to produce an annual energy savings of $850,000. It is expected this project will install new equipment and make operational revisions for energy savings in chilled water production for the campus' central chilled water system.
