Title
Review of First Year of Energy Savings with Cenergistic. (WSO)
Body
SUMMARY:
In order to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and meet the goals laid out in Greenprint 2.0, the City has committed to increasing energy efficiency within its facilities. To support this commitment, the City entered a five-year contract with Cenergistic Inc. of Dallas, Texas in March of 2022 to maximize energy efficiency within city facilities.
Cenergistic has worked for over 34 years to help more than 1,450 organization across the nation reduce greenhouse gases and save money in electricity, natural gas, and water costs. The company achieves such reductions by applying advanced technology and behavior-based conservation programs within buildings, as well as embed full-time onsite Energy Specialists to ensure all equipment and operation are working at peak efficiency and optimization.
At this time, data representing electric and gas use in the first year of the program has been uploaded into the energy tracking system and Cenergistic will be providing a report on the results. Because water costs were added mid-year, staff and Cenergistic are still working through implementation of that data. When it is complete the total savings for Performance Year 1 (April 2022-March 2023) will be finalized.
