Buildings
The City of Nashua measures the energy used to heat and power our schools and municipal buildings. We do this to learn where we’ve been successful at lowering our energy consumption and where we should focus our efforts in the future. Energy-efficient buildings is a high impact strategy to reduce the City's total greenhouse gas emissions. The government’s effort to reduce energy sets an example for the community.

What are Lighting Our Streets?
Nashua completed an LED (light emitting diode) streetlight conversion. LED lights use up to 85% less than their traditional streetlight counterparts. This is one example of an City initiative to reduce energy use.
Green Buildings
What are Green Buildings?
Buildings built to green standards use less energy for heating, cooling, and lighting and improve indoor air quality and comfort for the people in the building. A Livable Nashua will encourage new developments as well as major upgrade projects to follow green building standards.
