J.M. Electrical replaced the elec- tric heating system in all buildings with the new energy efficient cen- tral boiler plants, and rewired and installed new thermostats in each of the units. The community cen- ter’s building automation system was also completely revamped in order to reduce energy demand and consumption while ensuring reli- able energy delivery for power and heat. J.M. Electrical’s project team oversaw day-to-day operations through- out the 20-month project to ensure scheduling and bud- getary requirements were met. The proj- ect was completed April 2015. “Today’s advanced building sys- tems are amazingly sophisticated, and it takes a wide range of skills and knowledge to ensure that all the systems work seamlessly and reliably,” Guarracino said. “As a result of this project, Georgetowne Homes will save money and energy, while also providing an exceptional living experience for all residents.” PROJECT NEWS J&M Brown Underway with Electrical Renovation of MIT Building NW23 at 195 Albany Street, Cambridge, MA NECA contractor teams with GC Columbia Construction, North Reading, MA on MIT’s new home for Department of Facilities and Office of Campus Planning CAMBRIDGE, MA – J&M Brown Company, Inc.
