Title

Excellence in Leadership Group Project (B)

Last Spring the Excellence in Leadership (EIL) team was asked to develop a new residential energy efficiency program. The purpose of the program was to increase energy efficiency using a more customized or "whole house" approach.

Explanation

A whole house approach to energy efficiency has been successful in other parts of the country providing up to 30% in energy savings to the customer.  While it costs the customer more money initially, implementing more measures at the same time provides more energy and demand savings per dollar invested         

Recommendations

The City Commission hear a presentation from EIL members regarding the Home Performance with Energy Star Program to be implemented in January 2008.

Fiscal Note

Cost for this program is included in the FY 2008 budget.
