The Markley Group owns and operates the largest data center and telecom facility in Boston and the New England region. It specializes in the development and operation of mission critical facilities and has developed thirteen data center and telecom buildings throughout Europe and North America, with the group’s flagship facility in Boston.
Looking to increase power density and reduce data center operating costs at their Boston facility, the Markley Group sought the help of the Sponsors of Mass Save.
The Markley Group leases mission critical digital storage space, and in the data center industry it’s a necessity to have the best technology to attract and retain customers. The Markley Group’s electric utility—a Sponsor of Mass Save—worked conjointly with approved installation contractors to analyze and evaluate the modular row-based cooling to ensure the design would be a cost-effective upgrade that generated energy savings. The utility then covered 75% of the additional cost to use the new energy-efficient technologies. The new data centers are now more cost-effective with less CO2 and NOx emissions, and the Markley Group benefits from the new cooling system and reduced operating costs which get passed on to their customers. It’s a win-win situation.

The Sponsors of Mass Save offer technical assistance and financial incentives to customers who design energy efficiency into new construction or renovated commercial facilities. The Markley Group worked closely with their local utility to develop a long-term plan to increase its energy efficiency. Through the Mass Save program, the utility then committed $183,358 in energy-saving incentives for this project which is 75% of the additional cost of using the new energy-efficient technology.
Whether you are building a new manufacturing facility, upgrading old, inefficient equipment or manage a property in need of energy improvements, the Sponsors of Mass Save will help you identify cost-effective energy efficiency improvements, provide technical assistance, and offer financial incentives in addition to interest-free loans to help kick-start your company’s next big project.
