UPDATING THE TOWN GOVERNMENT CENTER’S HVAC SYSTEMS WILL SERVE TWO PURPOSES. FIRST IT WILL DECREASE THE ENERGY USE NEEDED TO REGULATE THE CLIMATE IN THE BUILDING, WHICH IS THE PRIMARY ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF THE BUILDING. THE TOWN’S GOVERNMENT CENTER IS ONE OF THE LARGEST ENERGY CONSUMERS IN THE TOWN’S BUILDING INVENTORY. UPGRADES TO MORE MODERN ENERGY EFFICIENT HVAC SYSTEMS CAN RESULT IN APPROXIMATELY 20% ENERGY SAVINGS FOR THE BUILDING’S HEATING AND COOLING COST. THIS PROJECT WILL REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS BY APPROXIMATELY 10 TONS PER YEAR.
