Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency in action at 251 E. 12th Avenue
Remodeling work is about 98% completed and with the addition
of the North West wing and floor to ceiling remodeling, many
of you have already experienced several changes at 251 over
the past 3 years.
- Effectively reduced lighting costs by 1/3 by replacing
all old fluorescent light fixtures with high efficiency low
wattage fixtures
- State of the art air conditioning and heating systems
are highly efficient
- The boilers are new and use half of the natural gas of
the older boiler systems
- Temperature systems are pre-set and hold until released
by a command
- Systems automatically shut down every night, on the
weekends, and on holidays
- Systems automatically turn on in the mornings of
work days
- The roof top of the North West wing may receive a solar
array
- May supplement electrical power for the building or
perhaps some of our hot water, or maybe even both
- Studies will be conducted in the next several weeks
to determine feasibility
- Installation of a green roof at 251
