Sustainability and Energy Action Plan

BUILDINGS AND ENERGY GRANTS PASS SUSTAINABILITY AND ENERGY ACTION PLAN envisioning of what such a system might look like can be found in Appendix VIII. pieces of City property should be assessed for their energy generation potential and considered for incorporation into the microgrid system at the Police Department building. Such properties include the abutting former rental property, the empty lot across the street to the west of the building, the parking lot right next to the empty lot, and the City Hall campus right across the street to the south of the empty lot and parking lot. In the future , consideration could be given to setting up an arrangement with the county to loop the county buildings adjacent to the City Hall campus into this microgrid system as well. As the City's property holdings may change over the years, plans for fully developing the Police Department microgrid system should evolve as well. AnProject BE -3. Improve Efficiency of Pumping Systems The most energy intensive processes within City operations all involve water: treatment of river water to make it drinkable, treatment of wastewater, and distribution and collection of drinking water and sewage/greywater.39 All these processes require the pumping of massive quantities of water, which uses a great deal of energy. 44
