Button Up NH Taping

Hi David,
 
Have not heard back from anyone.  (I tried Denise Jackson, because I thought she might be coming, but she has a new grandchild she's visiting with.)  Can you check your list of volunteers?  If not, unfortunately we'll just have to pass on the taping - too bad it would have been nice to have to share with service groups, etc.

Tape workshop?

Hi All,
 
Would anyone be willing to tape the workshop on Saturday?  Dave will provide the equipment and quick training tomorrow, if we have someone available.  My experience with video cameras is not good.  Need to know ASAP - if we don't have someone - he'll try to get volunteers.
 
Michelle
 
P.S. Denise - I'm sending this to you because I thought you might be coming to the workshop and I know you're experienced with the cameras!

RE: Button Up NH Workshop

I just called Dave’s office to remind him. I left a message with a person in his office. The said that he has it on his calendar.

RE: Deep dive energy audit costs

Jim,
 
Was Margaret quoting $1500-2000 per building based on the deliverable requirements of the EECGB grant (ASHRAE Level II Audit)or on doing a "deep dive" audit?  I'm concerned about putting together the grant request with such a wide discrepancy.  (Clay Mitchell's firm, SDES was $5 - 7,000/bldg.) 
 
I did not get an answer from the Selectmen (Bill and Bill) regarding the requirements for going out to bid, so I called and spoke with Barbara.  She said we did not need to formally put the work out to bid until we had the grant funds, but should get three to four estimates.  I will also call the Jordan Institute to get an estimate from them.  Any other suggestions?

Dear Michelle:
 
I spoke at length with Margaret Dillon about the ball park costs of energy audits as described in the bid document. She said it depends on the size of the building, but on average for a real, effective, deep dive audit, which may require the auditor calling in an engineer to evaluate HVAC systems etc, we may want to budget between $1500 - $2000 per building. She said we should check with Clay Mitchell's company too because they do very good work.
