Kalamazoo Special Ed Building First Recipient of Consumers Energy's New Construction Energy Efficiency Program: The first beneficiaries of a new energy efficiency program offered by Consumers Energy are special education students in Kalamazoo. The Kalamazoo Regional Education Service Agency Woods Edge Learning Center Special Education Building received almost $49,000, as part of Consumers Energy's new construction energy efficiency incentive. KRESA received more than $36,000 of the total incentive, with the remainder going to the architect, Tower Pinkster of Kalamazoo. Consumers Energy launched its energy optimization program as part of Michigan's energy reform law. That program includes a new construction incentive that provides rebates to commercial and industrial customers and design teams when they build a new facility where the energy usage is less than code requirements.Working in conjunction with their design team from Tower Pinkster, KRESA developed plans to build the new facility with a very high level of energy efficiency. The building was designed to have energy savings 33 percent better than the new construction program requirements. The annual savings of the building is estimated at more than 167,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, and 2,740 Mcf of natural gas, enough to supply energy to more than 20 homes. Consumers Energy, the principal subsidiary of CMS Energy, provides natural gas and electricity to nearly 6.5 million of Michigan's 10 million residents in all 68 Lower Peninsula counties.
