JM Electrical and New England Trane Complete School Control System Project

Lynnfield, MA – JM Electrical Company, Inc., a leader in advanced automated building system installations, has completed project operations at the Ashburnham Westminster Regional School District, located in North Worcester County, approximately 50 miles northwest of Boston. The system was done under a performance contract with New England Trane.

JM Electrical installed the power and controls for the HVAC equipment, provided by Trane , for two schools in the district — Oakmont High School and Overlook Middle School — in order to achieve energy savings for the buildings. The company’s electricians worked to ensure the project was completed on time and on budget. JM began work on the schools in June 2016, and they are now fully operational.

“We were pleased to work with the Ashburnham Westminster school system in upgrading their HVAC controls,” said John Guarracino, project manager at JM Electrical.

The team delivered over $4 million in needed facility upgrades including a new roof, HVAC equipment, a biomass boiler fueled by wood pellets and a state-of-the-art building automation system, according to Chris Marshall, general manager of energy services at New England Trane.

“Trane guarantees energy savings exceeding $5 million over the 20-year term enabled by M.G.L. CH25a, 11i, which will be used by the district to pay for the project,” he said.
