UAA hires Ameresco to assess and recommend energy efficiency measures for campus buildings

Ameresco Inc., a leading energy efficiency and renewable energy company, announced last week that it has partnered with the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) and the University of Alaska Southeast (UAS) to conduct campus-wide energy audits. The audits will help both institutions identify opportunities for energy efficiency upgrades to decrease energy consumption that will deliver significant cost savings.

"The University of Alaska Anchorage chose Ameresco to assist us in our goal of becoming more energy efficient based on their proven track record in Alaska and their long history of successfully working with higher education institutions," said John R. Faunce, PE, director, University of Alaska Anchorage Facilities Planning & Construction. "We look forward to learning more about opportunities to reduce energy consumption and working to implement these measures that will help us become more efficient, benefiting both our environment and our bottom line in the process."

As part of the project, Ameresco will conduct a UAA campus-wide audit, which includes the extended campuses at Kodiak College, Kachemak Bay Campus, Kenai Peninsula College, Matanuska-Susitna College and Prince William Sound College, all located throughout southern Alaska.
