POSTAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER IN OAKLAND CA
In an ongoing effort to reduce energy consumption in federal facilities, the Postal Service hired a national ESCO firm to assist them in upgrading and retrofitting energy systems, including a 910 kW solar system, new energy management system and a number of mechanical and lighting upgrades. GRD|energy was engaged to make certain that the proposed ECM’s achieved their goals by commissioning some of the energy system involved. The projects resulting energy reductions are equivalent to the elimination of 7,400 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, about the same as could be converted by planting more than 2,000 acres of trees.
