Energy efficiency company Ameresco has inked a $24.7-million contract for deep retrofits to 12 federal buildings in five U.S. cities.

The Framingham company will provide facility-wide energy conservation measures to federal buildings and U.S. courthouses located in Arizona, California and Nevada through a contract with the U.S. General Services Administration, the company announced Wednesday. The contract covers solar photovoltaic (PV), water conservation and energy efficiency upgrades.

The project will span 3.7 million square feet of building in five U.S. cities, including Las Vegas, Phoenix, Reno, San Diego and Tucson. The improvements will cover everything from insulation to lighting and HVAC systems. Combined, the measures will reduce the total energy consumption of the federal buildings by 30 percent, according to the company.

Additionally, 462 kilowatts of solar photovoltaic systems on carports and rooftops will be installed at the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in San Diego. Ameresco has also designed a follow-on battery storage system to be employed in conjunction with the onsite solar for energy demand-reduction and peak savings

Construction on the project is expected to begin this summer and is scheduled to be completed in early 2018. All buildings will continue to be fully occupied during the construction period.
