ROOSEVELT, NY

PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Roosevelt UFSD Energy Savings Project represents a visionary leap towards transforming the district’s infrastructure and slashing energy costs through innovative energy efficiency strategies. With a substantial investment of $26.1 million, this groundbreaking initiative includes a large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) installation, comprehensive district-wide LED lighting conversions, and crucial upgrades to boilers, hot water heaters, and building management systems (BMS). Led by Energia in collaboration with the Energy Service Company (ESCO) Honeywell, this ambitious project is scheduled for completion by Autumn 2025 and is projected to deliver an impressive $1.1 million in annual savings, while achieving a remarkable 58% reduction in energy expenses.
HIGHLIGHTS
Utilizing the innovative Energy Performance Contract (EPC) framework, Roosevelt UFSD is embarking on transformative infrastructure improvements without imposing any additional burden on local taxpayers. This strategic funding model empowers the district to implement essential upgrades while securing significant financial and environmental benefits. By optimizing energy usage and enhancing operational efficiency, Roosevelt UFSD is not just preparing for a sustainable future; it’s ensuring that every dollar saved can be reinvested directly into educational programs and resources for students.
This project exemplifies the district’s unwavering commitment to fiscal responsibility and environmental stewardship, setting a powerful benchmark for neighboring districts to emulate. Through this initiative, Roosevelt UFSD is not merely upgrading facilities; it’s constructing a brighter, greener future for its community and students.
