[Green] Electric Bill

[David Ballantyne]

I'm processing the Jun-Jul electric bill this morning.  Following are the highlights.

This is the third consecutive month where the combined electric bill from the Sanctuary and RE Bldg resulted in our Solar Generation being more that 100% of our usage.  We generated 114% of our usage this past month compared to 106% the previous month and 99% for the same month last year.  We averaged generating 67% of our usage over the past 12 months.  That average continues to increase, as we receive the benefit of those energy efficiency projects completed within the past year.  Our goal and estimate is 80%.

The outside temperature was 5 degrees warmer this past month compared to the previous month, though 2 degrees cooler on average than the same month last year.  "Usage Management" (keeping areas isolated for heating and cooling) continues to be important.  Big thank-yous to occupants using both buildings.

Harrison Construction reduced their quote for the RE Hot Water project based on bypassing rather than removing the current hot water tank in the RE Basement.  Plus, they offer to donate a vanity and new sink for the RE Bathroom.  Biggest impact from this project will be in winter rather than summer - not transporting heated water through cold pipes, plus avoiding use of the over-sized tank.

Regards,
Dave
