EFFORTS TO REDUCE ENERGY USE REWARDED
|
|
The Library continues to find ways to reduce costs and operate more efficiently. It received a check for $111,000 from Duke Energy as a rebate for reducing energy consumption at the Main Library. These savings resulted from the Library’s participation in Duke Energy’s SmartBuilding Advantage ® program which identified and analyzed energy efficiency opportunities. Following program recommendations, the Library replaced T12 lights with T8 lights and implemented improvements to its boiler plant in order to generate the maximum energy savings in the shortest amount of time for the lowest cost.
