CRC Innovations and Ameresco announce $200M ESPC for military housing

CRC Innovations, and Ameresco (AMRC) announced an over $200M Energy Saving Performance Contract or ESPC to provide capital improvements at U.S. Army military housing at Fort Bragg, N.C.; Fort Meade, Md.; and Fort Sill, Okla. This multi-site project is expected to provide quality-of-life improvements for service members and their families, while also reducing annual electrical consumption by 40% and natural gas consumption by 50%. The initiatives will modernize living conditions and enhance energy efficiency across 5,000 homes, affecting more than 15,000 residents. The communities are owned and operated by Corvias, a long-standing solutions partner to the Department of Defense. “CRC is honored to enable efficiency technologies that support service members and their families and provide a clear path to meeting the readiness and resiliency goals of the Army,” said Pablo Varela, CRC Innovations Executive Vice President. “We take pride in knowing that our efforts directly impact the well-being of service members and their families and contribute to military readiness.” The high impact energy measures include replacing existing HVAC units with sustainable, renewable energy-sourced systems using ground source heat pumps manufactured in Oklahoma, as well as installing new electricity panels and new meters.
