TO: Councillor. E. Woodyard, Chairman
Finance & Administration Committee
FROM: Thomas A. Fanning, R. D. M. R.
Director, Department of Community Services
DATE: February 26, 1981
SUBJECT: Energy Conservation
Special Budget Meeting
March 9th, 1981
With reference to the above-mentioned subject.
1. Energ Conservation in Arenas (Darlington Sports Centre F; Bowmanville
Memorial Arena)
(a) Vie removed the second hand bleacher heaters in the Bowmanville
Memorial Arena for the simple reason they were costly and not
effective.
(b) In both arenas we lowered the wattage in both arenas where ever
possible.
(c) In the Darlington Sports Centre we removed the covers from
a number of light fixtures, so that a lower wattage level would
give us the same amount of light as the larger bulb.
(d) Over a period of three(3) years we have cut back heating through
turning down thermostats and light switches when not required,
2. Energy Conservation in Parks & Cemeteries
This is an area that I find frustration, because in trying
to conserve energy here, it would effect services in Parks
and Cemeteries. We do try to conserve gas and oil use without
waist.
3. Hall Buildings (Town Hall - Bell Building - Fire/Police Building)
With reference to the three (3) hall buildings, we have made
countless efforts to reduce use of heat and lights where
possible. However, I find that staff members are switching
thermostats up and down, which is a problem and has to be
rectified.
4. FOR YOtRINFORMATION
Due to other job priorities, a further report on energy
conservation will be presented in due course.
