Background

Higher utility rates and inefficient mechanical systems past their useful life led the city to look for ways to improve position and reduce their risk of putting a strain on their capital budget. Perfection was employed by the City of St. Bernard to implement a comprehensive energy efficiency project on the city’s facilities.

Solution

The project covered upgrades to (3) facilities including: City Hall, Police Department, and
Fire Department. Energy conservation measures that were incorporated consisted of the following:

  • LED lighting technology for traffic lights
  • High efficiency lighting for parking lots, parks, and athletic fields
  • Automated controls system for City Hall and the Police Department
  • New HVAC systems in all facilities
  • High efficiency lighting and occupancy sensors in all facilities

I chose Perfection because of their knowledge of the House Bill 420 process, professionalism, and the company’s ability to self-perform the majority of the work. Perfection’s one stop shop allowed us to get the most amount of work done for our energy dollars saved.
