Northeastern University Modernizes Steam System

Northeastern University is modernizing its steam distribution system as part of a broader effort to decarbonize the campus, enhance energy efficiency and leverage renewable energy sources.

Ameresco, a cleantech integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy,  will replace Northeastern’s district energy system, implementing a high-pressure steam distribution system to replace the older, less efficient low-pressure system. This upgrade positions Northeastern University with options to significantly lower its carbon footprint while improving the overall efficiency of its campus energy systems.

“We’re excited to continue our strong partnership with Northeastern University,” said Peter Christakis, Executive Vice President at Ameresco, in a statement. “By modernizing the steam distribution system, Northeastern University is positioned to significantly reduce its carbon footprint while improving the overall efficiency of its campus energy systems that will benefit generations to come.”

The project’s first phase at Opera Place has already been completed and is operational, while the second phase at Huntington Crossing is expected to be finished by August 2025.
