Housing Authority Looking at Ways to Save Energy
The Rome (GA) News-Tribune (5/25) reports, "The Northwest Georgia Housing Authority plans to take a long hard look at energy savings performance contracts that could result in significant upgrades to older housing units and considerable savings on utility costs. Steve Chumley, director of technical services for the housing authority, will bring officials with Siemens Government Technologies to the June housing authority meeting to detail the program that involves a guarantee of significant savings." The piece adds, "Siemens would come in to help develop a specific strategy for savings, conduct energy audits, load profiling, examine utility bill management and the like." Then, it would help the authority to take steps that help improve energy efficiency.
