14 Action Plans Savings and Benefits Potential Measure Estimated Annual Cost Savings Water $38,310 Energy $32,854 Operations and Maintenance $4,000 Tenant and Staff Engagement $6,000 TOTALS $81,164 Recommended Energy Actions Replace original heating boilers Consideration should be given to 24 hour lane lighting only and motion sensors in parking bays in the parking garage. This system has proven to not only improve energy efficiency but also to improve security Installation of improved valve systems, high efficiency pumps and motors and VFDs where applicable should be considered for heating and domestic hot and cold water systems. These measures, which can reduce maintenance costs and energy consumption, are supported by utility incentives
