P3 Advisor
Project Summary:
The P3 Advisor Project is phase one of reconstructing NAU’s energy systems to decarbonize the current heating and cooling infrastructure. The advising company, Brailsford & Dunlavey (B&D), will assess the University’s needs to figure out what system would be most beneficial for the campus and guide us towards an infrastructure that uses sustainable technologies such as biomass energy systems and ground-source heat pumps. B&D will help the university form a contract with a company that will purchase its energy systems and supply the energy back to the university at a set rate. This project lays the foundations for a long-term solution to reduce the university’s emissions and continue to advance the campus’s 2030 carbon neutrality goals.
