Connecticut Valley Hospital in Middleton, Conn., will get a 15-year $30 million energy makeover, one of three projects throughout the state launched to increase energy efficiency at state buildings and cut utilities spending, according to an article in The Middleton Press.
The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and state Department of Administrative Services announced recently that CVH be retrofitted with up-front funding provided by Massachusetts-based NORESCO. CVH will pay back NORESCO, an energy services company, with the savings the hospital accrues from the infrastructure improvements, according to the article.
“They front the money, and then they estimate that our payments will be $2 million,” said Mary Kate Mason, a spokeswoman for the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. Any savings over that annual $2 million the state keeps.
Potential projects include installing more efficient lighting; lighting control, heating and cooling upgrades; energy-efficient windows; new power plant boilers and new hot water systems.
