Committee updates status of Comprehensive Building Assessment; suggests attic insulation and data logging
Summary
The committee reviewed the Comprehensive Building Assessment (CBA) status, assigned Spirit Joseph to follow up with Eversource/RISE, and discussed exploring attic insulation and installing data loggers to capture temperature/load data for better analysis.
The Energy Committee briefed members on the status and purpose of the Comprehensive Building Assessment (CBA) work and noted outstanding items that require follow-up with external partners.
Spirit Joseph, Secretary, said staff will follow up with Eversource/RISE to clarify the CBA status. Members suggested re-examining attic insulation and even converting attics into conditioned space as a strategy to reduce building loads. The group recommended installing inexpensive data loggers — noting Home Depot devices as an option — to gather empirical temperature and humidity data before committing to work.
The committee recorded follow-up tasks to confirm the CBA timeline with Eversource/RISE and to pilot data-logger deployment at select town buildings to inform insulation and retrofit choices.
