Buildings generate nearly 40% of annual global GHG emissions and the City of Denver has a plan to decarbonize commercial buildings in the city.
The Alliance Center, a nonprofit event and collaborative working space in the heart of lower downtown Denver, recognizes the urgency of the climate crisis and announced today that it found a solution to reduce the carbon footprint of its 112-year-old building, using electric vehicles.
The Alliance Center announced a partnership with Fermata Energy, a clean technology company based in Charlottesville, VA, to use the energy stored in an electric vehicle (a Nissan LEAF) and power their six-story, 40,000-square-foot office building originally constructed as a warehouse in 1908 (1536 Wynkoop St, Denver, CO 80202). This new partnership will result in energy cost savings and energy efficiency. (Link to News Release)
KEY FACTS:
The Alliance Center is a model for innovative green building practices, collaborative working techniques, and engaging educational programming—all designed to scale up the sustainability movement.
Fermata Energy’s V2G System has already proven to save building owners money, and with cities and counties struggling to not only secure additional funding amidst the pandemic but also on how to meet net-zero emission goals, this system will save The Alliance Center money and help the nonprofit reevaluate its energy use more efficiently.
Last month, The City of Boulder announced that it is working with Fermata Energy to test the ability to use an electric vehicle to dispatch power directly to one of its recreation centers. Fermata also recently announced new partnerships with Roanoke Electric Cooperative, Green Mountain Power, and Bigelow Tea.
