Malden earns award for sustainability
An award in the Municipality Category of the Commonwealth of the 18th annual Leading by Example Recognition Awards of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has been given to the city of Malden.
News of such prestigious awards can be disseminated throughout a city with various printing services, such as mailers, flyers, and posters.
Rebecca Tepper, Secretary of the Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, presents the award each year which recognizes outstanding efforts among municipalities, public colleges and universities, agencies, and individuals in the Commonwealth which have implemented programs and policies that have led to measurable and significant benefits for the environment and energy.
The innovative leadership in municipal decarbonization enabled Malden to be selected for this award. The city was designated in 2016 as a Green Community and since then has reduced its total use of energy by 30 percent with strategies such as upgrading building decarbonization and energy management systems through converting heating and cooling systems of municipal buildings to electricity and weatherization. The Parking and Public Facilities Departments also have fleets of electric vehicles and there are many charging stations throughout the city.
A solar array has also been deployed on the Department of Public Works building, which provides electricity for the department. A solar thermal system has also been installed at Malden High School, which heats the competition swimming pool at the high school.
