Council accepts Puget Sound Energy conservation grant for City Hall HVAC controls upgrade
Summary
The finance committee recommended and the council accepted a Puget Sound Energy conservation grant to upgrade HVAC controls at City Hall; the grant ranges from a minimum of $23,458 to a potential $222,228 depending on a 12‑month performance review.
The Renton City Council concurred with the finance committee and accepted a conservation grant agreement with Puget Sound Energy to fund an upgrade of HVAC controls and scheduling at City Hall.
The grant provides a minimum payment of $23,458 and could total up to $222,228 depending on performance during a 12‑month review, as described by staff in the finance committee report. Council Member Perez moved concurrence with the recommendation; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: improved HVAC controls and scheduling are intended to reduce energy use and lower operating costs at City Hall; the performance‑based nature of the grant ties final payment to measured results during a 12‑month evaluation period.
The council approved acceptance of the grant; no additional local match or budget amendment was discussed at the meeting.
