Energy & Sustainability Management Building Efficiency Projects
Energy Efficiency Retrofits of Public Buildings
City of Albuquerque works hard in creating Energy Projects throughout the many districts of Albuquerque.
These projects go through a detailed review with Albuquerque Energy Council and Technical Review Committee to make sure that they save Energy and money for the City of Albuquerque. 3% Energy Projects consist of Renewable solar, LED lighting upgrades and mechanical system upgrades.
The energy and Sustainability team works closely with department managers to ensure that their facilities meet Energy reduction standards and any concerns have been met during the construction phase. AEC members are updated during monthly meetings with the scheduled progress of the project detailed and reviewed.
3% Energy Efficiency Project FY 2019-2022
Manzano Mesa Multigenerational Center Energy Efficient Lighting and Control Upgrade Project
