BRIGHTON, Mich., Jan. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CGE Energy (OTCPink:CGEI), the leading engineer of no capital cost energy solutions, completed a CGE Sustain project for Madonna University, in Livonia, Mich. This is Madonna’s most recent sustainability project that further demonstrates one of their Franciscan values of reverence for creation. Previously, the University’s founders, the Felician Sisters, had more than 400 solar panels installed on the University’s Franciscan center which received LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification at the Gold level from the U.S. Green Building Council.
CGE Energy has been a sustainability partner with Madonna University since 2010. With this recent CGE “Sustain” program, Madonna University was able to implement needed energy upgrades with immediate positive cash flow and no capital outlay. All maintenance and ongoing servicing was included in the program. Having $0 invested with CGE “Sustain,” Madonna University’s utility bill is reduced each month, energy savings fully pay for the Sustain program, and the excess savings can be reinvested into the campus.
The University is dedicated to the utmost safety for its 3,100 students. Some of the improvements in the “Sustain” program included increasing light levels and security along the exterior walkways and parking lots as well as redesigning and upgrading the interior hallway and library lighting to make these environments more inviting.
This project will pave the way for many other universities to make their sustainability goals possible. With the “Sustain” program thoroughly vetted by Madonna’s legal team, they made sure this project is a “win” for them as a customer, CGE and the planet. With the CGE “Sustain” program and its guaranteed energy savings and worry-free maintenance, Madonna University is able to maintain its focus on expanding its academic programs and other sustainability endeavors.
