MEDFORD — The Medford Technical High School is already reaping benefits from a $9,300 grant it received recently from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC).
The grant enables the school to obtain energy efficiency devices and energy monitoring equipment from CoolGreenPower.
CoolGreenPower, based in Concord, helps businesses achieve smarter, more efficient and effective cooling systems with its retrofit technology.
“Medford Tech is excited to partner with CoolGreenPower. Our Electrical and HVAC-R students will be installing and monitoring efficiency ratings on a variety of units around our school complex,” said Principal Dr. Heidi Riccio, adding that the devices will be used to monitor efficiency in the school’s new commercial kitchen.
She said four Medford Tech sophomores in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning and electrical concentrations “will learn about new clean technologies and build clean tech job skills.”
