Similar challenges exist with the Recreation <br />for buildings and facilities on a <br />Center, as an "Office Building" template can't be filled out, and a Rec Center <br />case-by-case basis. <br />has many features that a normal office building would not have (i.e. swimming <br />Develop strategy and costs for <br />pool, showers). Challenges exist in tracking the Police Department in <br />replacement and/or evaluation of <br />comparison to other similar buildings in that the courthouse is attached.

The Golf Course, too, <br />is not a standard facility with standard energy usage needs. <br />streetlights. <br />Still, the Facilities Manager thinks the following buildings may be able to be <br />measured with some creativity, as long as certain data sets are removed to <br />even out the comparison baselines: <br />Library (separate parking garage data) <br />City Hall (This was last measured through Energy Star at 60% and <br />adjustments have been worked on.) <br />Rec Center (mechanism unknown) <br />PD (separate courthouse energy data) <br />In addition, for facilities not able to be measured by EnergyStar, upgrades to <br />enhance efficiency should also be explored. For example, last year Xcel <br />replaced 677 cobra head streetlights with LED. The City still has approximately <br />1,200 non -cobra head streetlights to replace in order to reduce energy <br />consumption. This project does not directly address this or any other strategy <br />included in the SAP, but should be added as an additional strategy to reduce <br />energy usage in city facilities going forward. <br />DRAFT <br />12 <br />14 <br />
