These funds combined with Town funds totaling $338,125.00 were used to replace a boiler at the Colonie Community Center and replace the four heating and air conditioning roof top units at the William K.

The Town has realized the following savings to date:
Energy Dollars Saved – this quarter - $2,148.00 – Project to date - $15,545.00

The bulk of the savings come from the units at the Library during the cooling season. Johnson Controls will be making some adjustments to the equipment monitoring to capture additional savings.
