Hospital Building Upgrades Save UMC of Southern Nevada 2,367,072 kWh of Energy Annually

Summary

University Medical Center (UMC) needed to upgrade their aging, inefficient, and maintenance intensive equipment and utilize more energy efficient means.

“The advantage of working with Ameresco is that they can perform multiple projects at one time. It would take years to do these projects individually and it would cost a lot more in time and money.”
