Task 1
Task 1 will consist of the following activities:
A. Develop a methodology to estimate current energy use by the City. This
would lead to an examination of how much energy, the City as an
organization uses and the approximate cost of energy use. This would
provide a baseline to study future actions to reduce energy related costs to
the City.
B. Identify three potential projects to illustrate the business case for
sustainability and do a preliminary high level assessment of potential
economic and environmental benefits associated with each project. The
general goal is to detail possible cost savings and payback on appropriate
projects.
C. Develop an outline of an Energy Efficiency and Conservation (EEC)
Strategy Report to be submitted to the Department of Energy (DOE) to assist
the City in obtaining grant funding for the development of plans and
strategies to reduce City energy cost through energy conservation,
cogeneration and alternative energy installation at City facilities. (The Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program is expected to receive
appropriations in 2009).
D. Develop a fist of possible policies and projects for inclusion in the EEC
application.
