Innovative Utility Vendor Contracting
DCAMM is signing direct contracts with utility vendors with the authority of the MA Green Communities Acts. These contracts will use pricing already negotiated by utility companies.
In December 2012, RISE Engineering (a division of Thielsch Engineering, Inc.) became the first vendor to execute the new DCAMM Utility Vendor contract.
In Q1 2013, DCAMM will be reaching out to ALL utility vendors to offer participation in program.
Deputy Commissioner Sandra Duran congratulates Thielsch’s Vice-President Vin Graziano on becoming a DCAMM approved Utility vendor

2013 Programs 1. $1.2 million for solar thermal projects – funds from
MassDEP GHG trust2. $2 million for thermal technologies such as
biomass/pellets, heat pumps, solar thermal 3. $1.5 million for parking lot solar PV arrays and other
innovative PV technologies 4. Free water saving fixtures

Creating A Cleaner Energy Future For the Commonwealth33
• Biomass: highly efficient, variable systems with low air emissions– Using wood or other biomass such as grasses, in the form of
cordwood, pellets or chips• Solar Hot Water: collectors providing additional heat for space
heating, domestic hot water, process heat or other low temperature heating needs
• Heat pumps: highly efficient systems of compressors/expanders and heat exchangers using the thermal energy of ambient air, water or underground to heat and cool buildings– Attention: account for electricity consumption by pumps and
compressors• Advanced biofuels: biomass derived liquid fuels delivering at least a
50% reduction in lifecycle GHG emissions • Biogas: digester gas from Anaerobic Digestion or capped landfills used
for heating purposes at the site of capture, or by mixing it in the natural gas pipelines.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTHogan Regional Center & Wrentham Developmental CenterEnergy and Water RetrofitConstruction Began: October 2011
Substantial Completion: February 2013
DCAMM, the Department of Developmental Services (DDS), J.C.Cannistraro and KlingStubbins have recently completed large-scale energy upgrades at the two facilities.
Measures included power plant decentralization, solar PV installation, lighting upgrades, and HVAC improvements. The upgrades are on track to save nearly $2.5 million in energy costs annually.
The 500kW solar PV installation at Wrentham will save over 6 million kWh of electricity annually.

1. Specify a sustainability project you have been able to implement using your own internal resources and some of the key benefits to your facility
2. Discuss the top 2-3 key reasons you were able to successfully implement this project
3. Identify ways in which DCAMM, LBE or other state agencies could be helpful in ensuring that these types of projects can be implemented on a wider scale
