His professional impact is demonstrated through project results that have delivered more than $800,000 per year in verified energy cost savings across multiple projects. One notable achievement was an RCx effort for a 640,000-square-foot office building in Chicago that achieved verified savings of more than 750,000 kWh annually and earned the ComEd RCx Flex program’s Project of the Year Award. In addition to his day job, Limeburner is active in community service through volunteer efforts with the Brooksville (Maine) Historical Society, the Brooksville Farmers Market Committee and local service initiatives supporting food banks and community organizations.
