With over 15,000 students attending annually, Sachem is
the largest suburban school district in New York State.
When the district was considering a costly commissioning
project in 2007, administrators turned to ECG to help them
accomplish their commissioning needs, as well as make other
energy saving upgrades to their facilities, through Energy
Performance Contracting.
The result was a project that will bring over $16 million
worth of energy-related capital improvements to the district
with zero taxpayer impact.
Sachem is also on schedule to become the first district
on Long Island to generate wind energy through this project.
