In 2008, IT virtualized servers in city hall, saving the city 21,329 kWh of <br />electricity and over $3600 in utility costs annually and reducing GHG <br />emissions by over 6.2 MT over the life of the project. <br />2015  <br />Level  Energy Efficiency and Conservation Activities  Reported   <br />Gold  1. In 2009, public works implemented a citywide lighting retrofit program, <br />changing out older, inefficient lighting in city hall, libraries, community <br />buildings, and fire stations for efficient fluorescent lighting and LEDs in <br />exit signs. The retrofits save the city 619,517 kWh of electricity and over <br />$97,000 in utility costs annually, and reduce GHG emissions by over <br />161.5 MT over the project life. <br /> <br />2. In 2010, the city continued with lighting retrofits in the Marshall Street <br />Garage and implemented additional HVAC and boiler retrofits, lighting <br />controls and occupancy sensors projects in city facilities, among others. <br />The combined savings of these projects amounts to over 155,090 kWh of <br />electricity, over 690 therms of gas, over $23,000 in utility costs annually <br />and almost 35 MT of GHG emissions over the life of the projects. <br />2015  <br />Energy Efficiency and Conservation <br />Activity <br />Level  Energy Efficiency & Conservation Activities  Reported   <br />Platinum 1. In 2011, the city added refrigeration controls on vending machines, <br />implemented a high efficiency air conditioning/heat pump project, and <br />piloted its first LED streetlight project. Together these projects saved the <br />city 28,744 kWh of electricity and $4,615 annually, as well as reducing <br />GHG emissions by over 5.12 MT over the life of the projects. <br /> <br />2. In 2012, the city retrofitted Main Library’s HVAC controls, saving over <br />6,447 kWh of electricity, 505 therms of gas, and $1,480 of utility costs <br />annually, as well as reducing GHG emissions over 4 MT over the life of <br />the project. <br />2015  <br />ATTACHMENT 2 <br />4.B. - Page 11
