PHILADELPHIA, PA—Simpson House, a Philadelphia-based continuing care retirement community, expects to save as much as $350,000 in energy costs annually with a makeover of its energy infrastructure being designed and implemented by New Jersey-based energy management and combined heat and power specialist ENER-G Rudox and partners and clean energy specialists, Blue Sky Power and MCFA Global.
The multimillion-dollar energy infrastructure improvements to the community's campus will include the installation of a highly efficient ER265UL tri-generation system that will provide heat, cooling, and electricity for the community. The project will also include comprehensive lighting upgrades throughout the community and the replacement of existing boilers and chillers in the community's powerhouse.
"Historically, we've found that many senior living communities do not prioritize energy infrastructure upgrades because of economic concerns," says Blue Sky Power CEO Ben Parvey. "It turns out however, that many communities can actually reduce their carbon footprint and save money simultaneously, if they have the right approach. At Simpson House, we have been able to work with ENER-G Rudox to leverage a combination of technological, financial and regulatory best practices to deliver a solution that benefits the end-user economically, while simultaneously contributing to their organization's sustainability goals."
