1. The Town, including all subdivisions such as the schools, two beach districts, the water department, etc., spends approximately $425,000 annually on energy. Of this, 75 percent is for buildings (heating fuel and electricity), 19 percent is for vehicles and 6 percent is for street lighting.<\/p>\n

2. The Junior High School is consuming nearly 25,000 gallons of heating oil annually, and with electric use (which remains higher than expected during the summer) is costing the Town approximately $100,000 annually for energy.<\/p>\n

3. The Public Safety building is also a major energy consumer and inefficient for its size, despite having been built during the last decade.<\/p>\n

4. The Town Hall energy use is less than might be expected, given the fact that it is largely un-insulated.<\/p>\n

5. The Public Library is the most efficient in heating fuel use per square foot.<\/p>\n

6. Vehicle fuel costs are approximately $80,000 annually. Police and Public Works vehicles account for most of the consumption, each being 35-40 percent of the total.<\/p>\n

7. Street lighting costs are approximately $25,000 annually. Most street lights are located near the beaches and many use inefficient bulbs or are billed at costly per fixture, rather than metered, rates from PSNH.<\/p><\/div>\n
