Board approves LED upgrades after energy audit; senior center payback estimated at 7 months
Summary
Following an expanded energy audit, the board approved LED and thermostat upgrades for the senior-center shop at an estimated cost of $337.32, with a projected 7-month payback, roughly $691.88 saved in one year and about $3,500 over five years.
Staff reported that an energy audit had identified additional savings opportunities at the senior center and shop. The proposed scope replaces nonstandard fixtures with LEDs and upgrades thermostats; staff reported the direct cost to the city for the senior-center upgrades would be $337.32 and projected a payback in about seven months, with one-year savings of about $691.88 and roughly $3,500 in savings over five years.
The board approved the additional work after staff presented the financial payback figures. Staff noted the scope for the shop was small and the representative who performed the audit had just completed a follow-up review including the shop area. "They're looking at a payback for that in 7 months," staff said during the presentation.
