The upgrades are being funded through an energy savings performance contract with NORESCO. 

The Albuquerque upgrades will cost $6.3 million and address deficiencies in air handling units, chiller plant and chilled water systems, as well as building automation controls.

The contract will result in more than $33.8 million in savings and lead to as much as a 70 percent reduction in heating costs between the two sites, the article said.
