CITY BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES <br />The city operations greenhouse gas inventory identified the largest energy users among public buildings. These <br />buildings have the greatest opportunity to achieve carbon reductions. The Rec Center stands out as the largest <br />emitter of GHGs, while the Westwood Hills Nature Center is the lowest. <br />5,000 <br />4,500 <br />C 4,000 <br />O <br />2 3,500 <br />e 3,000 <br />t 2,500 <br />0 <br />n 2,000 <br />n 1,500 <br />e <br />s 1,000 <br />500 <br />■■■■■■■■■■■ <br />%MOO`_"EM_N <br />■■■■■■■■N■■ <br />■■■■■■■■■■■ <br />2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 <br />Figure 14 COz Emissions for largest users in buildings and facilities sector. <br />CO2e for <br />Major Buildings <br />......

It also includes an estimate of the solar availability for each building as a percent of consumption. <br />A GIS mapping tool was used to estimate the rooftop solar resource and does not account for mechanical <br />equipment, structural integrity of rooftops, or other barriers that may reduce access to the solar resource and <br />may overestimate potential. Site assessments should be completed to understand the true generation potential. <br />Rec Center <br />629.42 <br />818,234 <br />3,006,300 <br />27% <br />Municipal Service Center <br />816.51 <br />1,061,466 <br />619,999 <br />171% <br />Hamilton House' <br />149.56 <br />194,432 <br />631,869 <br />31% <br />City Hall <br />88.34 <br />114,836 <br />514,400 <br />22% <br />Police Department <br />196.63 <br />255,613 <br />496,640 <br />51% <br />Fire Station 1 <br />146.34 <br />190,243 <br />302,990 <br />63% <br />Fire Station 2 <br />103.32 <br />134,320 <br />140,894 <br />95% <br />Westwood Hills Nature Center <br />22.11 <br />28,738 <br />70,050 <br />41% <br />Total <br />2130.12 <br />2,769,144 <br />5,713,092 <br />48% <br />Table 2 Solar energy potential as percent of electricity consumption. <br />' The Hamilton House is a Public Housing building that is owned and operated by the Housing Authority, not the City of St. <br />Louis Park. It is included in this list because the city tracks its energy and water use through the B3 benchmarking program. <br />
