PURPOSE:
To obtain City Council approval to accept an Energy Efficiency Incentive in the amount of up to $19,849.00 from ComEd for energy conservation measures incorporated into the design and construction of the new Public Works Facility.

The ComEd Energy Efficiency Program offers incentives for new construction projects that incorporate specific energy conservation measures into the design of new buildings. Working with ComEd's consultants since the early stages of the design of the new Public Works Facility, the City's design team was able to incorporate measures into the new building which will provide a cumulative incentive of up to $19,849.00 as summarized in the attached New Construction Measure Incentive Reservation form and includes: windows, interior and exterior lighting power and controls, efficient cooling equipment, demand-controlled ventilation, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and heating efficiencies in the 28,331 SF office area and interior and exterior lighting power and controls and direct-fired make-up-air units in the 170,696 SF vehicle storage and repair "warehouse".
