Agenda Text
The Board is requested to recognize $31,982 of Duke Energy Smart Saver Custom Incentive Program funding related to the Board of Elections Renovations Capital Project (4730DC155). This funding is a rebate and will offset previously expended funding in the PAYGO Fund. There is no change to the project budget.
The Smart Saver Custom Incentive Program is a no-cost Duke Energy sponsored program to provide financial incentives to design and build more energy efficient buildings. The County benefits by receiving a check from Duke Energy at the end of construction in addition to a 35 percent reduction in annual energy costs in the new Board of Elections facility. The Duke Energy incentive program provides cash for the installation of qualifying high efficiency equipment for lighting, mechanical, and glazing systems.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This aligns with Goal 4 - Environmental Stewardship - through the improvement of the environmental performance of County buildings to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from the built environment.
Resource Persons: Brenda Hayes-Bright, Assoc. AIA, CDT, MPM, Project Manager Peri Manns, ASLA, Deputy Director or Engineering & Environmental Services, Keith Lane, Director of Budget and Management Services, Charles Nicholson, AIA, RND Architects.
