New Brunswick military base to undergo $55M upgrade
The Gagetown military base in N.B. is upgrading 255 of its buildings due to $55.6 million funding from the federal government through an Energy Performance Contract.
The upgrade will include LED lighting upgrades, heat and energy recovery systems for heating and cooling equipment, high efficiency boilers for heating, upgraded building envelopes, high efficiency water fixtures, a new high-efficiency gas power generator, and geothermal technology.
Once completed in 2026, this project will reduce the base’s energy costs by $3M annually, and its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by more than 8,700 tonnes (9,590 tons) per year.
In New Brunswick, 5 CDSB Gagetown is the second largest public sector employer, after the province itself.
