OREANDA-NEWS. August 18, 2015. Wyoming County in Pennsylvania has started an extensive energy and facility improvement initiative for its public buildings that is guaranteed to save them at least \\$3.9M in energy and operating costs over the next 15 years.

Experiencing significantly higher utility bills, Wyoming County officials wanted to lower costs and improve facility efficiency without increasing taxes in the area. They took the lead from neighboring Columbia County, who had already successfully utilized ABM Building Solutions’ Bundled Energy Solutions (BES) program to modernize their buildings and save \\$4.9M.

The success of the Columbia County project encouraged Wyoming County to implement its own customized BES program for key public buildings. The improvements — including upgrading HVAC systems and integrating building automation and PC management systems — will lower Wyoming County’s utility costs by an average of 33%, including an impressive 49% savings for the County’s Courthouse.
