This 146,000 foot education building was the largest building that we have audited. We had every fan and blower door running 100%. Information gathered from the energy audit will be used to determine energy efficiency, retrofitting and weatherization projects using funds from the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants (EECBG). Retrofitting projects will include air infiltration, energy efficient windows and doors, insulation levels, weather-stripping and caulking, and electric base loads.
Using its EECBG formula funding to retrofit and improve the energy efficiency of a number of it's municipal buildings that will result in substantial reduction in energy usage.
EECBG Formula grants can be used for energy efficiency and conservation programs and projects community wide, as well as renewable energy installations on local municipal buildings, city facilities, local city and county government buildings. EECBG programs include: energy efficiency stimulus funding, energy efficiency retrofit programs, municipal efficiency retrofits, retrofitting of city owned buildings.
If an EECBG weatherization and retrofitting project is selected, an energy audit must be completed first in order to prioritize other activities.
We foresee energy efficiency block grant funds as a crucial component of pursuing energy efficiency programs within a town, city or local government.
