The Association of Energy Engineers New England Chapter (AEE-NE) has named two energy projects developed by Constellation Energy as the best in New England in 2010. The company’s solar installation project at Patriot Place was selected as the best renewable energy project. Constellation Energy’ energy conservation program carried out for Bristol Community College was named as the best energy project at colleges in New England.
A 525-kW photovoltaic power system is being constructed by Constellation Energy for Patriot Place in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Photovoltaic solar panels numbering more than 2,600 will be utilized for the system, which spreads across seven rooftops of the Patriot complex. The solar panels for the system are manufactured by Evergreen Solar of Marlboro, Massachusetts. The system will generate enough solar power to meet 30% of the electricity needs of the Patriot Place.
A range of energy conservation projects has been implemented by Constellation Energy for the Bristol Community College in Fall River, Massachusetts, such as solar power system development, and energy efficient lighting upgradation. A new energy management system was also installed as part of the program. The projects are expected to save more than $400,000 per annum for the Bristol Community College. About 40% of water, 31% of natural gas, and 28% of electricity are expected to be saved through the implementation of these projects for the Bristol Community College.
