The CU Boulder campus is taking action on the recommendations from the Energy Master Plan and recently signed an investment grade audit (IGA) contract with McKinstry Essential, LLC.

McKinstry will conduct an investment grade audit of our facilities (19 were identified for this round) and deliver a project proposal that could include energy and water efficiency measures, renewable energy systems, electric vehicle technology, operations and maintenance and metering infrastructure improvements. The purpose of the IGA is to review our facilities and infrastructure and ultimately present an audit report and energy performance contract project proposal. The IGA contract was signed on June 28.

The intent is to create a replicable program to execute additional phases of energy performance contracts in order to meet our energy-use reduction goals from the Energy Master Plan.
