Case Study: City of New Albany cuts energy costs and boosts sustainability with Gordian ezIQC solar installation

City of New Albany installs solar panels in 8 weeks with Gordian

The City of New Albany, Ohio, sought to install solar panels on a public services garage to advance its strategic sustainability goals and reduce energy costs. The city faced the challenge of procuring and managing this construction project efficiently. They used Gordian's ezIQC, a form of Job Order Contracting (JOC), accessed through a cooperative purchasing network to streamline the process.

Gordian's solution connected the city with a qualified contractor, enabling the project to be completed in just eight weeks. The installed solar panels are estimated to cut the facility's electricity bill in half and will remove 112 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air annually. By using Gordian's alternative project delivery method, the city achieved significant cost savings and a strong return on investment while fulfilling its environmental commitments.
