The HHS National Cancer Institute (NCI) campus in Frederick, Maryland utilized a Utility Energy Service Contract (UESC) to construct two state-of-the-art steam plants that deliver large-scale energy savings over the life of the 20-year contract. NCI receives steam plant performance information through remote metering and verification processes that provide real time data. This information keeps NCI up-to-date on the plants' performance and provides user friendly formats for outreach and education. NCI saved $2.5 million in the first year of operation and will reduce CO2 emissions by 14,365 tons annually.
