An Energy Services <br />Company (ESeO) was hired to Identify. analyze and install conservation measures. The <br />program was managed by the City's Office of Sustainability and Environment and created <br />incentives for departments to participate by offering them the opportunity to save money <br />on their utility bills. which could then be applied to their programs. Energy effiCient <br />lighting and HVAC projects were completed in police and fire stations. community centers. <br />fleet maintenance centers and office building. and red traffic signals and pedestrian walk <br />signs were changed to LEDs. After three years. an independent evaluation of tile program <br />concluded that the City's investment was sound: the present value of net benefits to the <br />CIty for all of ttle proJccts was $2.5 million The internal rate of return to the City for all of <br />these tile projects was 14 percent, and the pay-back period is under six years. <br /> <br />e Resources <br /> <br />Background: <br />American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy - General Information <br />Illln:llwV'.....w ;:)f.C'e0- ora <br /> <br />DOE's Building Energy Codes Program is an information resource on national model <br />energy codcs. <br />tlttn'//vN/W 0-nNC1vroclcc; GOV <br /> <br />Energy Star for Government Agencies.
