On Monday October 24, 2016 Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary Parish in Lexington, KY held a special mass for students, faculty and staff.  After the mass Michael Kennedy, Assistant Director of the Governor’s Energy & Environment Cabinet was on hand to present the Energy Star Award for work provided in the church and school.  Via an Energy Savings Performance Contract, the parish contracted with Perfection Group to provide Lighting Retrofits, Automatic Temperature Controls and Building Automation, HVAC replacements and additions and retro-commissioning of key environmental systems.  All work was designed to reduce energy and operational costs in a guaranteed savings format.  Perfection Group is pleased to report that savings have exceeded first year expectations.

On hand for the presentation were Martha Casher – Parish Consultant, Fr. Dan Noll – Pastor, Rebecca Brown – School Leader, Matt Callahan – Perfection Green Buildings Manager, Ben Apro – Perfection Green Energy Engineer, Tony Apro – Perfection Group President and Michael Kennedy.  Perfection Group has been a services provider for Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary parish for over 20 years and is a collaborative partner in all their building needs.  Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary is one of the first parishes in the state of Kentucky to receive such a distinction.

Perfection Group, Inc. presented the Energy Star Certification Award to Bourbon County Fiscal Court on November 28, 2016.

The historic Bourbon County Courthouse, runner-up in design to the current Kentucky State Capital Building, was completed in 1905.  After a Guaranteed Energy Savings Performance Contract (GESPC) was completed in 2015 by the Perfection Group, Inc., the courthouse achieved an Energy Star rating of 81 ranking it among the top 20% in energy efficiency for similar use facilities in the United States.

It is the third courthouse in the Commonwealth to be awarded Energy Star status based on the improvements made through the ESPC process with Perfection Group, Inc.  Jessamine County and Pike County courthouses have also achieved Energy Star status in Kentucky after completing Guaranteed Energy Savings Performance Contracts.

During this presentation, Lona Brewer from the Kentucky Government’s Office for Energy Efficiency presented an award on behalf of Governor Matt Bevin for the insight and work performed to increase awareness and for being a state leader in their Performance Contracting and energy efficiency efforts.

In November 2016, Perfection was recognized by the Kentucky chapter of the American Works Association for a successful Performance Savings Contract with the Boyle County Fiscal Court in Danville, Kentucky. Ten awards were given statewide for projects completed across the Commonwealth, with Perfection being chosen in the Environmental category for work done in the Courthouse and County Jail. The Courthouse Project included a complete HVAC replacement with a sophisticated Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system, direct digital controls and automation and lighting retrofit.  The jail project focused on complete HVAC replacement, water conservation and generator installation. Congratulations to all on this achievement!
