0 Comments

 
The Iowa Economic Development Authority has announced that 20 Iowa cities, including eight Iowa municipal utility communities,  will participate in the IEDA’s City Energy Management Program. 
The program, is funded by  a U.S. Department of Energy grant, and provides a regional energy manager to assist Algona, Bloomfield, Denison, Guthrie Center, Independence, Pella, Wall Lake, and Waverly  to identify opportunities to reduce energy costs in city-owned buildings, exterior lighting, and water/wastewater facilities.


Working with the Regional Energy Manager, each participant will:
  • Enroll city-owned buildings into the Iowa Public Building Benchmarking Program 
  • Establish a City Energy Advisory Team 
  • Coordinate meetings with utilities and city management to discuss energy priorities 
  • Review public building operation and maintenance procedures 
  • Develop energy efficient procurement guidelines 
  • Set energy reduction goals 
  • Develop a city Energy Action Plan 
  • Identify cost-effective projects to reduce energy use and costs 
  • Train staff on energy management best practices appropriate for your operations 
  • Assist in implementing projects, including specifying purchases and identifying sources of funding 
  • Track energy savings over time to gauge success 
  • Ensure understanding of and commitment to long-term energy savings by all levels of municipal staff 

While the IEDA program provides funding for the technical assistance provided by the regional energy manager, the communities will be funding implementation of selected recommended measures.
