Environmental Evaluation of Village Facilities
The Capital Improvements Committee met with representatives from Harne Tech LLC. The
representatives explained that they provide 3 main services.
The first was energy efficient audits that included Solvent Energy Design Assistant Center
(SEDAC). These are free to the Village and they provide a list of Energy Conservation
Recommendation Measures (ECRMs). These provide ways to save money. The second was
consulting in grant writing. The third was the use of solar energy that had a focus on
technologies with high return on investments. Three options were provided solar panels, solar
thermal, and solar air thermal which uses South facing wall vents for hot air in winter months,
the return is 3-4 years payback and it cuts heating in half.
They then discussed the application process for SEDAC. They said the applications were online
and could be submitted in three formats. SEDAC needs 12 months of utility history.
A question was asked about stimulus want funds for energy efficiency. The representatives said
yes and they are in a competitive group.
A question was asked, "Should we be more aggressive to do more facilities?" The answer was no
because SEDAC does not like to do more than one facility at a time.
The representatives then went through the application procedure. The application will go to 360
Energy Group and Harne Tech will perform the walkthrough of the facility. The cost will be
between $4-5,000 paid for by the SEDAC grant. They will provide ECRMs with returns on
investments and we will get a lifecycle analysis of HVAC.
The question was asked how long the audit would take. The answer was 3 weeks.
The committee recommended moving forward.with the Greenleaf Fire Station and applying for
the grant from the Energy Conservation that will result in no cost.
The meeting adjourned at 10:45 a.m.
