Balfour Beatty and ENGIE Complete $12 Mn Energy Efficient Home Upgrades

June 02, 2022. By News Bureau

London-based infrastructure company Balfour Beatty Communities and ENGIE Services US, a subsidiary of ENGIE North America, recently completed more than $12 million in energy efficiency upgrades exceeding 1,000 homes at Fort Eustis and Fort Story, Virginia.

“We are proud to have completed this project, which improves critical systems in the homes of military families at Fort Eustis and Fort Story,” said Mark Lavin, Executive Vice President, Balfour Beatty Communities. “Our work with ENGIE is making these military housing communities more resilient and is generating utility savings that will be used to further improve these homes as part of our long-term reinvestment effort.”

Weatherization updates were given to more than 900 homes, including energy-efficient exhaust vent caps amongst other upgrades.

The new HVAC systems minimise the carbon footprint of Balfour Beatty housing installations while ensuring more comfortable homes to live in, mitigating mechanical outages, and standardizing equipment through the portfolio to reduce operational and maintenance costs.

“This project helps enhance the living conditions of our military families while supporting President Biden’s executive order to tackle the climate crisis at home and abroad. Simultaneously, we were able to support the Army’s Climate Strategy by reducing Green House Gas emissions at Fort Eustis and Fort Story by over 2,000 metric tons,” said Brad Boerger, Vice President Of Business Development ENGIE.

With the aid of the US Army, Balfour Beatty is solidifying sustainability and resiliency with projects that improve its military housing communities.

Balfour Beatty and ENGIE continue to expand the ESPC initiative with various new projects spanning Balfour Beatty Communities’ military housing portfolio in various stages of evaluation, approval and implementation.
