Southwest Energy Efficiency Project

Nevada State Capitol Complex

Nevada State Capitol Nevada selected CMS Viron, an energy service company (ESCO), to conduct a 12 year equipment lease-purchase and energy savings performance contract at its State Capitol Complex. The project included installing T8 lamps and electronic ballasts, compact fluorescent and halogen lighting, occupancy sensors, LED exit signs, and recommissioning of HVAC systems. About $1.9 million in energy efficiency measures were implemented over a six month period in 20 buildings (approximately 1.8 million square feet) at the State Capitol Complex.

Over a 12 year period, CMS Viron projects savings of more than $3 million in energy costs, $148,000 in water costs, and $69,000 in operation and maintenance costs. In the first year of the project, energy cost savings alone were significantly higher than what were projected, so the state should realize even greater cost savings.
