Energy Audits for Courthouses
Across Pennsylvania, municipalities are facing the daunting task of cutting operational costs without sacrificing services. Instead of cutting jobs or programs, some towns are saving significant amounts of money by implementing energy conservation measures and managing energy usage in municipal buildings. Energy improvements to a courthouse usually offer significant returns.
Typically, the biggest energy consumers in a courthouse involve:
- Mechanical (heating, cooling, and ventilation) systems
- Building envelope (air infiltration, insulation, and weather stripping)
- Lighting systems (including efficiencies and controls)
- Water efficiency, heating, and conservation
As part of an Envinity energy audit, municipalities will receive a comprehensive report offering recommendations for retrofitting, replacement, and energy management opportunities. The report will also include, for each energy improvement recommendation:
- Financial payback analysis, including estimated annual savings
- Estimated cost to implement
- Simple payback
- A savings-to-investment ratio (SIR)
Envinity works with municipalities to help identify financing measures, offering grant writing services, funding identification, and low interest loan identification.
