City of Maple Grove

Project Type: Energy Project

Location: Maple Grove, MN

Project Cost: $9.2Million

Annual Savings: $348,650

This project started with a comprehensive sustainability initiative, inBYLT designed and implemented various efficiency improvements and solar installations. Over a nine-month span, the project encompassed more than 20 city-owned buildings selected for deferred maintenance, efficiency improvements, and/or solar installations. The scope included diverse structures, ranging from municipal offices to recreational facilities. The planning and execution aimed not only at harnessing renewable energy but also at transforming some buildings into net-zero energy structures—anticipated to generate more solar energy annually than they consume.
