STOCC training and tools

 Energy Committee,

 

 I attended the Small Town Carbon Calculator (STOCC) training last night. It’s pretty simple to use. Our hardest part will be collecting the data from the town. Once we have the energy information, then it’s just a matter of entering the data into the STOCC spreadsheet. The results are produced immediately.

 

You can get all the information that was presented at last nights by going to the Carbon Coalition website  http://www.carboncoalition.org/ and then click on “Energy Committees” on the left hand side of the page.  I have also attached the information to this email. You should have the STOCC tool (.xls), the STOCC User Manual (.pdf) and the STOCC Checklist (.pdf).

 

See you all on April 20th.

 

Michael

Hi Julie,
 
Put us down for that evening (probably start at 7pm).  I'll check with Barbara tomorrow on meeting space availability at the Town Hall.  Shouldn't be a problem, but I'll confirm.
 
Thanks!

Michelle,

 

Thanks for getting back. Beginning April 6th I'm available most times during the day and NOT any but the following evenings:

Wed 4/8, Wed 4/15, Thurs 4/16, and Tues 4/21

 

Yes, forgot about Steve's departure. Anyone you think would be a valuable partner for the LEC could be invited (always good to have BOS representation if possible)!

 

Thanks, Julie

Julie,
 
Sounds like a great idea.  Unfortunately, we don'thave a Town Administrator right now; Steve resigned to spend more time with his family.  I will ask Sue, through Shirley, if there's someone who would like to participate.
 
When do you have time available?  Could you provide the dates that you currently have available?  One of our members travels a lot and another is also on the Timberlane School Board (Thursdays are definitely out for him.)

> So nice to meet you at the planning board meeting last week. Just to follow up, could I schedule time to discuss the CTAP LEC grant with the Atkinson LEC? I've worked on an outline for the Master Plan Chapter but would like LEC feedback before really charging ahead with the document. Do you think it would be helpful to invite the town Administrator Steve Angelo and maybe a Planning Board member to join the discussion? My April schedule is filling quickly so it would be a good idea to get a meeting or two "on the books" as soon as we can.

RPC Workshop Meeting - April 20

Hi Everyone,
 
As I mentioned earlier, we will cancel next week's Energy Committee meeting.  Based on feedback, I've scheduled Julie LeBranch of the Rockingham Planning Commission for Monday, April 20th at 7pm.  I will check with Barbara tomorrow to see if there's space at the Town Hall.  If not, I'll get a meeting room at the Community Center.  (Library didn't seem to work well since we get kicked out promptly at 8pm.)
 
Please plan on attending.  Julie will go over sample language for developing a chapter in the Atkinson Master Plan to encourage energy efficient building and maintenance, at a town, residential and business level.  We will also be working with her to get our mission statement, goals, etc. flushed out.
 
Please let me know ahead of time, if you can't attend.
 
Thanks!
 
Michelle

Conference for Local Energy Committees

Hi Everyone,
 
I wanted to forward information to you about Carbon Coalition's First Annual Local Energy Committee Conference on June 20th.  http://www.carboncoalition.org/Conference/  I am not sure that I can attend, since Timberlane's graduation is the 19th and I will have family in town that week(end).  I hope others will be able to attend to gather ideas and information.
 
Michelle
