What better way to approach a new energy-efficiency project than by hiring a local company to make the upgrades? That's the
Bay Area Transportation Authority's approach with their new energy-efficient improvements.
Springfield Commercial Roofing helped BATA install a new roof, new insulation, and energy-efficient Orion light pipes. The additions to the transportation authority's building should save them plenty of money and energy in the long run, and business development director Carrie Thompson says the change already is having benefits.
"We are very excited to start seeing the energy savings from our new roof and light pipes. The natural light that pours through the light pipes is amazing," says Thompson.
Springfield has a reputation for energy-efficient projects, and received a 2010 environmental stewardship award for the company's work on the Kalkaska Kalesium.
"We love it when we have the opportunity to work with clients who understand the dynamics of reflectivity, energy paybacks, added R-values, and are willing to utilize the free gift of mother nature, the sun, to help power their buildings," says Nick Jacqmain, project manager for Springfield.
