Building Efficiency Upgrades

CCM and Resource Lighting and Energy have recently partnered to offer three new building efficiency programs that help reduce energy consumption costs for members.

LED Lighting Upgrades

CCM is pleased to offer LED Lighting and Lighting Control upgrades through Resource Lighting and Energy, which will help reduce energy consumption and costs for CT municipalities and school systems! Click here for examples of projects completed by RLE.

Why should you upgrade your lighting?

Upgrading your lighting fixtures to new LED’s can significantly reduce your annual energy consumption, which is better for the environment and easier on your wallet. Even replacing older LED lighting fixtures with newer LED technology can result in substantial energy savings.

Not only are LED lighting upgrades great for energy conservation, but they are known to improve the comfort and productivity of staff, students, and employees.

Incentives for LED Upgrades

Eversource CT has the BEST LED incentive program in the country. All municipalities automatically qualify for $1,000,000 of on-bill financing at 0% interest with no cost out-of-pocket pending existing current loan balance. Depending on municipal bonding ratings and current Eversource loan balance, caps can exceed $1,000,000 up to $5,000,000 with on-bill financing.

Don’t miss out! This is the last year for Eversource's current energy efficiency incentive program before it undergoes revisions with the possibility of lighting incentives being reduced (potentially significantly) starting in 2025!

Electrification: Decarbonizing Heating & Cooling Systems

CCM is pleased to offer electrification solutions through Resource Lighting and Energy, which will help decarbonize heating and cooling systems for CT municipalities and school systems! 

The CEA (Connecticut Education Association) mandates acceptable temperature and humidity ranges (68°-76°; 20%-60% humidity levels) to be maintained by CT schools by June 30th, 2026. RLE is here to help you install a new heating and cooling system to meet these regulations!

What is electrification?

The “electrification of heating” refers to the process of replacing or complementing fossil fuel heating systems, such as propane, natural gas, or oil, with electric heat pumps. All-electric heat pumps are the most popular technology for decarbonizing heating and cooling systems.

VRF System Installation Funding

Install a brand new VRF system and take advantage of Eversource’s new program! With this new program, CT Municipalities qualify for up to $2,100 per ton in rebates. In addition, $1,000,000 in on-bill funding at 0% interest is available per town or city. Caps can exceed $1,000,000 up to $5,000,000 with on-bill financing.
