City Facilities

The Facilities and Asset Management (FAM) Division is continuously evaluating strategies, such as conservation, energy efficiency, and alternative energy, to meet the energy needs of the city organization at the lowest cost.  It is FAM’s general policy to complete energy-saving projects that have a five year or less payback and purchase hybrid and higher efficiency vehicles where possible. 

Since 2000, FAM has completed over $2 million worth of energy efficiency improvements in city facilities.  These improvements included replacement of old HVAC units with newer more efficient units, additional insulation, and window replacement.  FAM is actively pursuing methods to reduce energy costs as many departments are struggling meeting the increasing costs of energy.

The city also continues with renewable power purchases including both solar and wind.  This brings the total renewable energy to 3% of the city’s electrical load.
