WINDHAM, NY- Windham Mountain is striving to run an environmentally-friendly resort and has recently purchased enough wind energy to off set a third off its annual energy consumption. "We took the plunge and purchased 900 megawatts of wind power last season," said Tim Woods, General Manager of Windham Mountain. "This year we've upped that number to 2,800 megawatts of clean wind power. We're very happy in our investment toward a cleaner planet." By purchasing renewable energy credits, Windham Mountain joins many other green companies in building a demand for renewable energy. As more and more companies begin to commit to purchasing power generated via renewable sources, demand for non-renewable energy will lessen. According to Community Energy, the company that sold Windham the energy credits, the resort's purchase of 2,800 MWh of National wind RECs is equal to the benefit of: Not releasing 3,816,400 lbs per year of carbon dioxide (CO2); or 4,347,548 miles not driven; or 362 cars removed from the road; or planting 1,559 acres of trees. "Windham Mountain has distinguished itself as a leader on two of our most demanding challenges--energy and climate. Their decision helps build generation that offers clean air now which protects our climate for future generations," said Brent Alderfer, President of Community Energy, Inc. "By partnering with leading customers like Windham Mountain, Community Energy plows additional investment into new wind farms like the one it has under development in Herkimer County, New York. These new generation investments strengthen local economies at the same time they increase clean power availability to all energy consumers." Windham Mountain has also made smaller strides as well including purchasing compact fluorescent bulbs in resort properties. At the resort's Winwood Inn, signs have been placed to give guests the open to help save water by reusing towels and linens. Windham Mountain continues to channel the heat from snowmaking compressors to warm the resort's base lodge. "We essentially harness the heat produced by the snowmaking systems' electric air compressors," explains Tim Woods, resort president and general manager. "The 180 degree heat runs through a plate exchange system mounted to the compressors and is pumped through the circulation system. This technique satisfies almost 75 percent of our heating needs over the course of an average winter."Windham Mountain Address
