B|E Retrofit’s on-site project management and in-house installers deliver on successful installation and close-out for the weatherization measures in Farmington, CT.

The Challenge

Delivering reliable energy savings from the weatherization component of a complex, multi-site energy savings performance contract requires well-trained and experienced installers. Unlike measures that rely on improved technology or equipment to save energy, like a lamp retrofit, weatherization relies primarily on the installer to properly put the materials in place in the building.

The project in Farmington spanned 7 schools and 12 municipal buildings putting a premium on communication and limiting return visits to buildings to ensure a smooth installation.

The Solution

B|E Retrofit’s operations team started in Farmington with a clear understanding of the scope of work and the retrofit methods to be used. An in-house team of experienced professionals – with oversight from an on-site project manager – ensured that all measures were installed to the proper specifications and that energy savings were met or exceeded.

Effectively managing the multi-site project included regular progress communications and look-ahead scheduling updates. Communications from B|E’s PM kept Ameresco, the Town and B|E on the same page and the project running smoothly. The scope of work in Farmington included:

• Attic Bypass Air Sealing and Insulation
• Roof-Wall Intersection Air Sealing
• Soffit Overhang Air Sealing
• Door Weather Stripping
