The Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund awarded Stratford $839,086 on Wednesday toward the town’s $10 million effort to curb its energy appetite.
Stratford contracted with Honeywell International Inc. for $10 million to improve the energy efficiency of 33 town buildings.
Honeywell expects to start work later this month on improvements to town hall, schools, water treatment facilities, office buildings, firehouses and the police station will include lighting retrofits, water treatment upgrades, boiler replacements, roof replacements, solar panels, wind turbines and management systems.
The improvements, mostly financed with municipal bonds, are projected to save the town $9.9 million in electric and heating costs over the course of the 15-year contract.
