Reduce energy consumption in municipal buildings by 20% by 2030
Updates
Lower Energy Use
Municipal energy consumption dropped 4% in FY 2026 after energy use rose in FY2025 due to the opening the Drakeford Library Complex.
Smart Planning for the Future
In FY 2026, we audited all Town buildings to track energy habits, compare efficiency against regional benchmarks, and find ways to reduce waste.
We are using these results to fund high-impact energy-saving upgrades in the FY 2027 budget.
Next Steps
Monitoring & Quick Action
Staff are tracking utility bill data in FY 2027 to catch and fix sudden energy spikes right away.
Upgrading Facilities
Two high-impact projects, the Town Hall rebuild at Century Center and new HVAC systems at Fire Station 2, begin this year.
Cleaner, Greener Standards
Both building projects will follow the Town's High Performance Building Policy, using all-electric equipment and highly energy-efficient practices.
