Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) 
The City of Greensboro is implementing many Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) in municipal buildings, libraries, recreation centers, public safety facilities and parking decks throughout the city.

These ECMs will reduce the City’s energy consumption and spending, and help clean-up Greensboro's environment by reducing its carbon footprint. And, these ECMs will be paid for by energy savings -- meaning there will be no additional cost to the City. Once the upgrades are paid for, Greensboro will continue to receive energy savings and reduced utility bills.

The ECMs being used to help make Greensboro greener are listed below.

System recommendations were developed by Greensboro facility managers along with Pepco Energy Services' engineers, and in partnership with local subcontractors and suppliers. Each of the systems was selected to meet energy savings requirements and enhance operations efficiency, maintenance effectiveness, and comfort for City staff and visitors.
