Town
Office Efficiency Work
We recently took a look at the town office for energy opportunities and found
three good ones. The Selectboard has accepted our offer to address these:
| • |
Complete some
unfinished insulation beneath the radiant heat system. |
| • |
Retrofit the lighting
with vastly more efficient equipment. |
| • |
Help us with this
project. We will schedule a couple hours of work on
the insulation some Saturday soon. Contact Stephen
Taylor at 453-3225 or lincolnenergy@gmail.com |
Another big opportunity (and problem) pertains
to the lack of an air barrier in the ceiling. For now,
the Selectboard has deferred action on this issue pending
long term planning for the town office. |
