HARC Inc., a nonprofit program provider for people with intellectual disabilities, has completed an upgrade of its Hartford headquarters that it expects will save it more than $16,000 a year in energy costs.
The work at HARC’s Asylum Avenue offices performed by Thomaston-based JK Energy Solutions included higher efficiency replacements for indoor and outdoor lighting, HVAC equipment and a gas boiler.
To help offset the project’s cost, Eversource helped HARC secure nearly $51,000 in incentives from Energize Connecticut, a largely ratepayer-funded efficiency program managed by state entities, Eversource and its fellow Connecticut utility Avangrid (formerly UIL Holdings).
HARC financed the remainder of the cost through the Connecticut Green Bank’s C-PACE program.
Over the life of the new equipment, HARC, which reported $16 million in revenue for the fiscal year ended June 2014, expects electricity and natural gas savings to total approximately $223,000.
