Nashoba Valley Technical High School Enters into Solar Power Purchase Agreement with Nexamp Nashoba Valley Technical High School has taken command of its own energy efficiency future with the installation of a 101-kW solar photovoltaic system. Completed by Nexamp in early November, 506 solar panels make up the large solar installation. "This system will allow the school to meet the district's goal of becoming as energy efficient as possible while staying on budget," said School Superintendent Judith Klimkiewicz.  Because this project is a power purchase agreement, the school is able to use its own roof to obtain solar-generated electricity without having to own a single solar panel. Instead, Nexamp will own and operate the system, and the school will purchase the clean electricity produced at a low, predictable rate.    This project had the added benefit of providing the students at Nashoba Valley Tech with some great hands-on experience. Students were able to learn first hand the process of installing solar panels. Other students will be able to monitor the real time energy output through Nexamp's web-based data acquisition system. According to Klimkiewicz, the solar system is expected to offset 10 percent of the school's $220,000 annual electricity bill. "Going green is an extension of the school's constant effort to best maintain its building," she said.

Number of Geothermal Heating and Cooling Installations Continues to Rise in New England The cold winter is upon us again, but comes on the heels of a huge spike in the number of geothermal heating and cooling systems installed in Fall 2009, according to Nexamp's geothermal expert, Damien Morinon.  He credits a number of factors in explaining the increasing demand for efficient geothermal systems. "More than being just eco-friendly, geothermal heating and cooling is also becoming the smart choice economically," he says.  One Nexamp geothermal customer remarked: "Installing a geothermal heating and cooling system is like striking oil in my backyard. In fact, it is better than striking oil, because the free energy coming from the earth is clean." Nexamp's turnkey service also gives customers the confidence of reliability in our dedicated managers and their promise to deliver a high-quality, low-maintenance system, keeping costs to a minimum and ensuring longevity, all backed by the Nexamp warranty. A geothermal heat pump (GHP) provides affordable heating and cooling for your home and replaces a conventional HVAC system (most commonly, a furnace and air conditioner) by harnessing the earth's constant moderate temperature. "With the new federal tax credit covering 30% of the cost to install a geothermal heating and cooling system, we are able to offer our clients a substantial rate of return on their clean energy investment," said Morinon.

RiverWoods at Exeter Completes Renewable Energy Planning and Implementation Process When RiverWoods at Exeter moved ahead with the expansion of its retirement community in Exeter, NH, the facility owners wanted to reduce the environmental impacts of its soon-to-be constructed Boulders complex. The company called on Nexamp to undertake a comprehensive evaluation of the renewable energy opportunities at the site. RiverWoods was drawn to Nexamp for its broad approach to evaluating renewable technologies--called its Clean Energy Road Map--as well as the company's ability to provide turnkey installation services. The process began with a full review of the technical and economic potential for integrating solar photovoltaics, solar hot water, and wind power technologies at the future site of the 214,000 square-foot campus.  Nexamp used its Road Map tool to analyze nine different renewable energy applications and determine which were the most appropriate and cost effective for RiverWoods. With those findings, Nexamp worked with RiverWoods and its team of contractors to conduct installations alongside the primary building construction. Together, the two solar hot water projects will save the new Boulders complex an estimated 2,825 therms of natural gas annually.

Volume 6, Fall / Winter 2009-10 Efficient Lighting: Are T5 Lamps the answer? by Samantha Russem LC, LEED AP, Nexamp Lighting Project Manager (This article also appeared in High-Profile Monthly, October 8, 2009) Green...Energy Efficiency...Conservation...Big Savings! With so many energy buzz words being thrown around, many people feel like they must participate in the green boom or they'll be left behind. In the residential market, self-ballasted compact fluorescents and LEDs are keeping consumers busy as they try to determine how they can save energy while making a difference in the world. In the commercial and industrial market, end users are focused on the bottom line. Even with this difference in perspective, the same question looms over both sides: can being more energy efficient really save money? The answer is unequivocally, "yes," but how do we get there?

Patrick-Murray Administration Announces Award of Largest-Ever State Contract for Installation of Solar Power

Contracts for over 4 megawatts of federal stimulus-funded solar power at water and wastewater treatment plants go to team of North Andover and Taunton firms

NORTH ANDOVER – Friday, February 5, 2010 – As part of the Patrick-Murray Administration’s Massachusetts Recovery Plan, Governor Deval Patrick today announced the award of federal stimulus-funded contracts to install 4.1 megawatts (MW) of solar energy at 12 public water and wastewater treatment facilities throughout the Commonwealth. These projects will help to reduce energy bills and greenhouse gas impacts while creating jobs and growing the state's solar industry. The 12 contracts represent the state's largest-ever award for solar installation at public facilities.

Worth approximately $20 million in ARRA funding, the projects announced today are expected to be complete between June 2010 and July 2011. They include municipal and regional facilities in Ashland, Hyannis, Chelmsford, Easton, Fairhaven, Falmouth, Holden, Marlborough, Blackstone/Millbury, East Freetown, Pittsfield and Townsend.

The Sentinel: "Powered by the sun"

The Sentinel: "Powered by the sun." February 25, 2010. ROCHESTER — Rochester Conservation Commission at its Feb. 16 meeting considered the proposed installation of a 435-unit solar panel system at the Quittacas Water Treatment Plant, which is owned by the City of New Bedford, and located on Negus Way in the far northwestern corner of the town, at the border with Freetown.

The photovoltaic (PV) system is designed to supply 91.35 kilowatts of electric power for the facility annually. The project came before the local Conservation Commission for approval because a portion of it is within the 100-foot buffer zone of a bordering vegetated wetland, which is regulated by the local conservation commission under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, and the town's wetlands protection by-law.

The project, which is being funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the "federal stimulus law" proposes to locate the 210-watt modules on a bed of crushed stone at the site. The facility uses near 4.4 million kilowatt hours of electricity each year. The PV system will produce approximately 110,000-kilowatt hours of electricity annually, or about 2.5 percent of the total electricity consumed. While that amount is small, as the cost of electricity rises over the 20-year life of the PV system, its value will rise in terms of reducing the total cost of electricity needed to operate the facility.

Carol Rego, an engineer from Camp Dresser & McKee representing the city before the commission, said that the construction, by Nexamp, would take about one month. She said that no excavating would occur, other than clearing the topsoil and adding the crushed stone. The PV system, according to Rego, has a service life of 20 years at its rated load.
