Siemens to Help National Park Service Save Energy at D.C. National Parks
Upgrades Will Help Achieve Significant Energy and Water Reductions
ARLINGTON, Va. — The National Park Service (NPS) has awarded Siemens a $29 million contract to implement energy and water conservation measures at 13 national parks in the Washington, District of Columbia, metropolitan area.
National Mall and Memorial Parks, Antietam and Manassas National Battlefields, Rock Creek Park and Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts are among the regional landmarks to be upgraded by Siemens to help the NPS achieve significant energy and water reductions and their associated cost savings. In the renewable energy category, Siemens will deploy solar panels at several parks for lighting and other electricity needs. Conservation measures across all 13 sites will address outdated or failed mechanical systems, domestic water and irrigation, interior and exterior lighting, and implementation of solar photovoltaic solutions where feasible.
