Here are some ways that AGI is conserving… (click the links below to expand)
In 2009, AGI took advantage of a program for upgrading to energy efficient electrical service promoted by National Grid. Based on a complete electrical energy audit by a consulting engineering firm, AGI worked with an approved contractor to replace all of our lighting. New fixtures were installed throughout our facility with energy efficient ballasts utilizing fewer and lower wattage fluorescent bulbs. In additions, motion sensor switches were installed in all offices, reducing the lighting times by as much as 25%. The cost of the program was covered partially by an energy grant through National Grid. The balance of the cost was offset over a two-year period by the reduction in electrical energy use.
In 2010 AGI had three HVAC contractors evaluate the heating efficiency of our facility. The recommendation to seal ducts, and insulate our attic was implemented to reduce the amount of heat loss; simple measures to green up our own environment and make our carbon footprint smaller.
