The study will evaluate lighting upgrades, automated heating system controls, water usage measures,solar wall technologies and mechanical system measures. Specific upgrade costs and energy savings will be estimatedfor each facility. The project and the type of partnerships developed to do the work will be useful in similar–sizedcommunities.
