Description
The Town of Woodstock will conduct a detailed energy audit and develop an energy action plan for their municipal facilities and motorized vehicles as part of their Partners for Climate Protection commitment to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The energy audit will identify energy efficiency opportunities and provide an implementation plan complete with capital costs, energy savings, paybacks and associated GHG emissions reductions. The facilities included in the study currently produce an estimated 1,700 tonnes of GHG per year. By implementing energy-saving measures, the Town estimates that it can achieve savings in energy and GHG emissions of approximately 20 percent. Energy saving opportunities will include lighting systems, building retrofits, heating, ventilation and air conditioning and energy management control systems. Water conservation may be also a direct result of this study via initiatives such as auto shut-off fixtures in public showers, washrooms, pool heating and dehumidification.
