Background Information
City Assessment Files and City Performance Metrics
City councils pass a resolution to join the GreenStep program and are recognized at Step 1. Step 2 and Step 3 recognition levels reflect completed city actions, reported and rated below with stars (1 star = good, 2 stars = better, 3 stars = best). The Assessment File below summarizes completed city actions in a short Word file. Step 4 recognition is awarded to cities who report a minimum number of core metrics for the previous calendar year. These metrics aim to show the aggregate, quantitative results of taking multiple GreenStep actions. Step 5 cities show improvement in the Step 4 metrics. See yearly data for Steps 4&5. Additional city data can be found by reviewing information on B3 Benchmarking and Regional Indicators Initiative.

Efficient Existing Public Buildings {BP no.1}
Data suggests a decrease in energy consumption for five buildings and an increase in four buildings from the established baseline. Decrease is directly related to retrofits to some of the buildings and additional study and action is planned for the four underperforming buildings. Not all of the suggested energy enhancements identified in the initial energy audit were implemented, therefore a strategic plan is being developed to address the remaining projects so that improvements can be budgeted and implemented over the next 5 years.
B3 data has been fully updated and tracked monthly to identify trends and/or inconsistencies in buildings that need to be addressed. The building retrofits have all been reflected in B3 reporting to track their effectiveness.
Next steps will consist of continuing to track data, budget for improvements that could be included in the planning for the 2013 budget, continue to work with utility companies to define ways to be more energy efficient, and educate staff in each building to enhance energy savings.
Budings
Sarah Alig (City Staff) | salig@cityofeagan.com | 651-675-5007
Make no/low cost indoor lighting and operational changes in city-owned/school buildings to reduce energy costs.
- Action 2:In the Municipal Center other O&M changes included changing the set point of rooms when unoccupied; they were raised during the cooling season and lowered during the heating season. Light sensors were also added in areas that didn't have them and the sesors that existed were tested and reapaired/replaced for otimal efficiency. The building envelope of all affected buildings were checked; windows were sealed and weather stripping was replaced to minimize heat loss.
The Civic Arena had major retrofits with a new ground source heat pump system put into place. This building also had several O&M changes to reduce water consumption, seal the building envelope with weatherstripping or caulking, and change the setpoints during unoccupied times.
The B3 Building Editor has been updated to reflect changes and will continue to be monitored to improve energy savings.
The success of the rectrofits to date will contine to be monitored through the B3 tracking and staff will continue to operate the buildings to maximize the retrofits,seek out new opportunities for energy enhancements and budget annually for improvements that will sustain the savings.
Sarah Alig (City Staff) | salig@cityofeagan.com | 651-675-5007
Invest in larger energy efficiency projects through performance contracting or other funding or through smaller retro-commissioning/retrofit projects in city-owned/school buildings.
- Action 3:The City receives rebates from Dakota Electric and other utilities as a result of the projects funded through the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant. Examples where rebates were received include building recommissioning work and interior lighting upgrades. The City also participates in Dakota Electric's load shedding program to reduce peak demand electricity needs, which results in a rebate to the City.
The direct impact of the retrofits resulted in significant energy, dollar and CO2 savings for the buildings receiving the retrofits; in particular the Municipal Building, Police Building and Maintenance Facility.
Underperforming buildings will have a targeted plan to make modifications to meet defined goals. In particular, each building that is currently underperforming after the initial retrofits will have a 3-5 year plan wherein energy enhancements that were not included as part of the initial energy audit will be planned and budgeted for.
The continual tracking of energy use and costs through B3 will provide the tangible data to prioritize which buildings need the most attention to meet the energy saving goals.
Sarah Alig (City Staff) | salig@cityofeagan.com | 651-675-5007

- Action 5:Sarah Alig (City Staff) | salig@cityofeagan.com | 651-675-5007
Install for one or more city-owned/school buildings one of the following efficiency measures:
- Action 7:The project was possible due to a $1.3 million federal grant from the DOE.
The geothermal project added an additional electric meter in June 2010 to operate the new equipment that was installed. While the natural gas consumption decreased significantly, electrical costs remained the same or increased slightly from the pre-geothermal project. The addition of an enclosed training space within the arena along with additional daytime meeting rentals generated more people and use of the building, which added to the electrical consumption.
The overall system continues to be monitored by Harris Companies, Dakota Electric and City staff to stabilize electrical use.

- Action 5:The State has enacted legislation requiring cities with a water utility to adopt a rate structure that encourages water conservation. To comply with the law, most cities, including Eagan, have chosen to adopt a tiered rate structure.
Eagan has a two-tier system in place. Effective July 1, 2010 residents pay the same rate they are accustomed to paying$1.40 per thousand gallonsfor the normal indoor usage. The normal usage level will be defined as water used in the winter quarter, a period void of outdoor use such as watering lawns, washing cars, and filling swimming pools. Water used in the non-winter quarters in excess of normal will be billed at $1.75 per thousand gallons." found on the Cities web page at http://www.cityofeagan.com/live/page.asp?menu=21444.
