Building on the great success Sayville Public Schools achieved in the first phase of energy and sustainability upgrades, the district has partnered with Energy Systems Group (ESG), a leading energy services provider, and the ECG Group to develop and implement a comprehensive energy savings performance contract project. This project will include a wide range of energy efficiency and infrastructure modernization improvements that are anticipated to result in millions of dollars in savings over the life of the project. So, not only will these improvements help enhance the learning environment at Sayville Public Schools, they will also reduce energy consumption costs and promote environmental conservation.
As the district moves through the various phases of this project, we want to ensure that our community is kept up to date. To that end, we welcome you to visit this site which includes information about the improvements and process.
Project Schedule
▪ NYS SED approval expected late spring of 2018
▪ Construction to commence late spring of 2018 and completed in the spring of 2019
▪ Guaranteed energy savings spring of 2019 and ongoing
Capital Budget Relief of $1.5 million | Guaranteed Energy and Operation Savings of over $7.1 million
Energy consumption at Sayville Public Schools is projected to drop by 31.4%, and carbon footprint will be reduced by 2,551 Metric Tons of carbon dioxide over the 15 year term of the project. This is equivalent to one of the following annual environmental benefits:
Creating enough energy to power more than 269 homes
Planting over 2,415 acres of forest
Removal of emissions equivalent to over 539 cars
The ESCO provides all of the services required to design and implement a comprehensive project at the customer facility, from the initial energy audit through long-term Measurement and Verification (M&V) of project savings.
The ESCO arranges for long-term project financing that is provided by a third-party financing company. Financing is typically in the form of an operating lease or municipal lease.
The ESCO tailors a comprehensive set of measures to fit the needs of a particular facility, and can include energy efficiency, renewable energy, distributed generation, water conservation and sustainable materials and operations.
The ESCO provides a guarantee that the savings produced by the project will be sufficient to cover the cost of project financing for the life of the project.
