T-Rex

The Transportable Renewable Energy eXchange (TRex) is a custom-built, multi-functional mobile unit that can be set-up by one individual (no tools required) to create emergency power from renewable energy. This generation unit harnesses the sun and wind energy and can easily plug into commercial facilities whether in emergency or remote power situations.

Case Studies

Boston Housing Authority

The Boston Housing Authority enters an energy savings performance contract with Ameresco that is one of the largest of its kind. As a part of the Authority's green initiatives, this project features energy efficiency measures, a groundbreaking project labor agreement, a pre-apprenticeship program and improved facilities for the comfort of its residents and employees.

BMW

Committed to a sustainable business model to reduce waste, to improve local air quality and to create greater cost efficiencies, BMW partnered with Ameresco for a landfill gas-to-energy project. Methane gas from the Palmetto Landfill is cleaned and compressed for use at the nearby BMW manufacturing facility, and in turn, BMW is guaranteed a supply of renewable energy at a fixed price.

The Citadel

The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, a historic and proactive institution, partners with Ameresco to implement campus-wide energy efficiency upgrades from new lighting fixtures to window replacements on a budget-neutral basis. The project is anticipated to save the college over $670,000 annually.

Englewood

The City of Englewood was very conscientious of spending during tight economic times, but the City needed to enhance its infrastructure and reduce its energy and water consumption. Englewood partnered with Ameresco to develop budget-neutral projects including an energy savings performance contract and solar power purchase agreement to make the needed upgrades without approaching the City’s taxpayers.

Kentucky Horse Park

The comprehensive ESPC performed at the Kentucky Horse Park features transforming the “muck” into energy, eliminating the Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) problem and installing solar panels. The “Greening” of the Horse Park is expected to be paid back in savings within 12 years.

Medica University of South Carolina Video

MUSC

The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) partnered with Ameresco on a budget-neutral energy efficiency project that improved the learning environment, patient care and medical research facilities.

National Archives

NARA was eager to make its facilities more sustainable and to be environmental stewards. In partnership with Ameresco, NARA was able to implement a number of measures to reduce energy and water consumption including a photovoltaic system and cogeneration at various locations.

Great Lakes NAVFAC

At Great Lakes Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Ameresco implemented 10 phases of energy efficiency projects including steam and condensate line updates for a tighter distribution network and a new cogeneration facility. The measures allow the Navy to use a cleaner fuel and to save dollars.

New Castle County

In New Castle County, Delaware, an energy savings performance contract provided renewable energy solar power systems to improve energy efficiency. Local sourcing of solar panels brought jobs to the state of Delaware.

Ox Mountain

As one of the largest landfill gas-to-energy plants in its region, Ox Mountain strips the toxins from the landfill’s methane gas to produce a clean energy source for the cities of Palo Alto and Alameda. With aggressive goals to attain a significant portion of energy from renewable sources, the cities receive clean energy, as well as local job creation from the site at Ox Mountain.

Revere Public Schools

Revere Public Schools gained peace of mind in partnering with Ameresco for a performance contract. No longer worried about utility bills and whether or not the schools will have adequate heating, school administrators will have the opportunity to reinvest in education with the cost savings gained by improving the infrastructure.

San Antonio Water System

The first of its type to sell commercially to a pipeline, this biogas project harnesses the methane gas that previously San Antonio was wasting and converts it to pipeline quality gas for commercial sale. Ameresco’s partnership with the San Antonio Water System improves the local air quality and offers a renewable energy source. Local jobs were created and the City has a new revenue stream from gas sale royalties.

San Francisco Housing Authority

SFHA’s ESPC partnership with Ameresco features infrastructure upgrades to enhance the lives of tenants and reduce energy and water consumption costs. Ameresco teamed up with workers from the local community and residents to implement this project.
