Bright Horizons
Education Center: HVAC and Solar
Property owner Don Gary recognized the ability to provide his tenant, Bright Horizons Child Care and Early Education Center in Stamford CT, with the building infrastructure they needed to operate at maximum efficiency for years to come. The 20-year old building was converted into, in his words, “a self sustaining entity” by complementing the installation of a 100kW solar array with new HVAC including Mitsubishi air sourced heat pump technologies and an ERV (energy recovery ventilator). The result: teachers and students enjoy room-by-room comfort while Gary has reduced operating expenses and increased the property value.
