Ameresco announces new project with Northeastern University

Ameresco announced a new project as part of its ongoing collaboration with Northeastern University. The project will modernize the university’s steam distribution system as part of a broader effort to decarbonize the campus, enhance energy efficiency, and leverage renewable energy sources. As part of this modernization, Ameresco will replace Northeastern’s aging district energy system, implementing a high-pressure steam distribution system to replace the older, less efficient low-pressure system. This upgrade positions Northeastern University with options to significantly reduce its carbon footprint while improving the overall efficiency of its campus energy systems and providing continuity to the campus community. The project’s first phase at Opera Place has already been completed and is operational, while the second phase at Huntington Crossing is expected to be finished by August 2025. The project includes the installation of a high-pressure steam distribution system that will facilitate the university’s transition to a more energy-efficient and reliable infrastructure.
