MBC Development’s efforts also include several different types of energy projects. From Solar generation, MBC has over 1,380 Kilowatts of combined system power from five projects between Pennsylvania and Hawaii. To date, these systems have produced over 2,500 Megawatts of power.
In addition to solar, MBC has also invested heavily in lighting upgrades across 10 properties. The subsequent reduction of nearly one million Kilowatts of power per year is equivalent to:
- A reduction of over 509 tons of carbon dioxide
- Annual greenhouse gas emission of over 97 vehicles
- CO2 emissions of over 42 homes’ energy use per year
- Carbon sequestered by 379 acres of forest per year
MBC Development’s latest project involves the installation of a natural gas engine on a college campus. This engine will replace the existing boilers and will:
- More efficient source of hot water by using engine’s heat byproduct
- Create a sustaining hot steam loop by recapturing the engine’s exhaust
- Create a significant reduction in the overall electric consumption on campus
- Increase the efficiency of electric & gas used on campus from 40 to 70 percent
