Among the improvements cited by the award are a 29,538-ton annual reduction in carbon dioxide emissions (the equivalent of taking 3,938 cars off the road) and an annual savings in electric energy equivalent to the amount of electricity needed to serve 900 homes.
In particular, the work of Terry Ryan, energy manager for Facilities Operations was singled out for praise in the governor’s citation.
