NYMC Commences Energy Performance Project

New York Medical College (NYMC) has embarked on a 14-month long campus-wide energy performance project as part of its ongoing GreenNYMC initiative to promote sustainability and environmental protection. The project, expected to be completed in early 2022, is in partnership with Constellation, a subsidiary of Exelon and a retail supplier of power, natural gas and energy products and services for homes and businesses across the United States. The project is expected to reduce nearly 4,000 metric tons in carbon emissions annually, the greenhouse gas equivalent of removing more than 850 cars from the road in one year according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates.
