And the Winner Is: Washington Soldiers Home.
Orting is the winner in the energy savings program for 2015. Our Facilities Department has done an OUTSTANDING job in reducing energy by using boiler time based on needs not just run time, more preventative maintenance on systems in the buildings, etc.
The 2015 Battle of the Buildings final report has been submitted. Our weather normalized site energy savings in 10 facilities was about 15 million kBtu’s, reducing annual energy use by 9 percent!
Here is a quick summary of the weather normalized site energy savings:
-27% DVA Washington Soldiers Home
-15% ECY Bellingham Field Office
-15% Pierce Ft. Steilacoom Campus
-6% Pierce Puyallup Campus
Also they are about 90 days away from reaching 365 days without a time loss injury. June 10th will be the one year mark.
I am very proud of the Facilities Department.
