City approves small LED and thermostat upgrades at senior center after Duke Energy audit
Summary
Following a Duke Energy audit, the board approved $337.32 in LED and thermostat upgrades at the senior center, which staff said would yield a seven-month payback and an estimated five-year savings of about $3,500.
City staff said a Duke Energy audit identified additional energy-efficiency opportunities that had been missed in an earlier review; the staff then had the audit applied to the senior-center shop and presented a small scope of work.
Staff proposed replacing several nonstandard lights with LEDs and upgrading the thermostat for a cost of $337.32. Staff said the payback is estimated at seven months, with a one-year savings of $691.88 and five-year savings of roughly $3,500. Chair moved to approve the work, the motion was seconded, and the board approved the measure by voice vote.
Staff said the scope is small and expected to deliver quick energy savings; the board approved funding the work at the meeting.
