(Department of Municipal Development, APD, AFR, Senior Affairs, Family and Community Services, Aquatics, Cultural Affairs). Currently, the Energy and Sustainability Group is working on an Investment Grade Audit (IGA) for various city buildings. This IGA will be the primary resource for creating the roadmap to achieve less energy consumption in existing buildings.
Currently, the Energy and Sustainability Group is developing a practical plan to update building systems to operate more efficiently. Energy efficiency projects that are currently under construction include: APD Main lighting retrofit, South Broadway Cultural Center and Library lighting retrofit, Los Volcanos Senior center lighting retrofit, Isotopes heating and cooling controls, and City Government Center server room cooling systems enhancements.
