Identify the most effective measures that can be taken to reduce consumption and costs for heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, water heating, water consumption, and other energy uses in each facility. The proposal should address consumption of all energy sources including oil, gas, and electricity. Measures may involve controlling, modifying, adding, or replacing equipment and systems. Establish consumption levels for all current services as a baseline for measurement of savings. At this phase of the project, the Town desires to undertake the largest possible project without deficit or negative cash flow at any time during the project term, as opposed to a maximization of cash flows. The technical strategies addressed by the proposal must include, but are not limited to, the following items: Lighting and lighting controls, including fixture replacement, occupancy sensors and day lighting. Traffic signaling, flashers and road signage. Demand limiting strategies, including cogeneration and scheduling of process equipment, if appropriate. Photovoltaic systems installation. Geothermal systems installation. All major heating and cooling equipment, including, HVAC, air handling and related insulation. Installation of computerized environmental control and energy management systems and calibration and repair of existing temperature control systems. Envelope components such as roofs, doors, windows, insulation, and weatherization. Assistance with the procurement of electric, gas, oil, biofuels, and other utilities. In a building served by a steam system, the condition of the system, traps, condensate, pumps, etc. Possible replacement or refurbishment of unit ventilators. Evaluate both boiler/burner replacements versus burner replacements where applicable. Roof replacements. Boiler controllers. Energy savings measures noted in appendices should be considered as part of any proposal. If an item is considered, but determined not feasible for inclusion in the project, please provide a narrative explaining why in section B-2 of your response.
