“It has been a pleasure working with MHR on clean energy projects including renewable energy and combined heat and power systems.”
Kevin Moynihan, First Selectman, Town of New Canaan
“I have worked with Mark Robbins on several projects, most recently a Comprehensive Sustainability / Clean Energy Plan the for the eleven (11) buildings on The Foot School campus. MHR has been a valuable resource – providing exceptional planning and project development support.”
David Sklar, The Foote School
“The properties at the School Sisters of Notre Dame in Wilton were in desperate need of sustainability upgrades. Mark Robbins and his team at MHR Development were with us through every step. From water conservation, LED lighting upgrades, energy efficient boiler plant to solar, we could not have done this scope of a project without MHR.”
Tom Antignani, Facilities Manager, Sister Schools of Notre Dame
“We are enthusiastic about this upgrade to our facility as we create an energy conservation showcase. There is more to come!”
“The Wilton School Solar Project will add economic and quality of life benefits to the Town of Wilton for the next 20 years. This multi-building installation required skilled project management and solar expertise. Mark Robbins navigated all the processes of the Connecticut Green Bank, Eversource Energy, and the town departments to successfully deliver the first two schools online.”
Debra Thompson-Van, Wilton Energy Commission Chair
Tony McDowell, Executive Director, Earthplace
“Columbia Manufacturing Inc. was pleased to participate in a multi-faceted energy project which allowed us to evaluate numerous possibilities for energy savings and to pick options which we felt would maximize our cost-savings and minimize our carbon footprint.”
Kathryn Conlon, CEO, Columbia Manufacturing
“We are confident that the investment in this property will contribute to the greater good of our business community, the environment, and our bottom line. It's a no-brainer!”
Sam Pierpont, Owner, Bridgeport Innovation Center
“MHR managed every aspect of our complicated project: LED lighting, a historically accurate metal roof with a solar PV system, corresponding utility approvals — and permitting from both our Historic District and Planning & Zoning Commissions. Air-source heat pumps for temperature control and domestic hot water, and an energy recovery ventilator are now providing our needs free of fossil fuels, and a (solar powered) electric vehicle charger is currently under development.”
Rev. Dr. John A. Nelson, Congregational Church of Salisbury
“Our church is always working hard to make its budget so the energy efficiency program helps a lot. We're very happy with the program. We're producing more electricity than projected and we're saving money because we buy our own excess power at a reduced rate. Plus, we have many new windows and much new lighting which didn't cost us anything -- our normal payments for utilities just shifted to pay for the project. Otherwise, we would have had to raise $25,000 just for the windows and doors.”
Bob Castronova, President, Niantic Community Church
“It has been a pleasure working with MHR over the last couple years. Their work involved an assessment of our campus facilities, identification of sustainability improvements and implementation of measures including: electric vehicle chargers, HVAC improvements, and commercial kitchen upgrades as well as a solar photovoltaic system."
