The 15 million square fcct arc <br />made up of pollee stations. libraries, fire stations, park facilities, tranSit facilIties, health <br />centers. community/cultural centers, colleges and other types of facilities that are owned <br />by the CIty, the Chicago Park District. the Chicago Transit Authority or the City Colleges of <br />Chicago, As of June 2004. more than 5 million square feet of city-owned facilities had <br />been audited and retrofitted. 15 million square feet is roughly equivalent to the size of <br />three Sears towers. When the projcct IS complete, energy savings to the City and its sister <br />agencies are estimated to be $6 million annually, WIth $2 - 3 million In savings for the City <br />alone. The annual savings upon completion estimates 30.000 tons of CO2, and 84 tons <br />nitrous oxides, and 128 tons of sulfur dioxide, <br /> <br />Ann Arbor's Municipal Energy Fund <br />Since 1998 Ann Arbor's Municipal Energy Fund has provided city facilities With a source of <br />capital for energy efficiency retrofits. The Energy Fund provides initial capital for new <br />projects and receives 80 percent of projected annual energy savings from each installed <br />project for five years. The five-year payment plan allows projects that have a shorter <br />payback to help support projects with a longer payback, and all savings accrued beyond <br />the first five years remain WIth the departments implementing the improvements. The Fund <br />was seeded by the city with five annual investments of $100,000, and quickly became self- <br />sustaining. Most installed measures have had payback periods of three to six years, and <br />projccts supported by the Fund have yielded a total of 685 tons of annual eC02 reductions. <br />
