County McHenry County Officials Talk about Energy Efficiencies
Ken Koehler appears on a professionally produced YouTube explanation of how Federal dollars were used to make county buildings more energy efficient.
McHenry County Board Chairman Ken Koehler and John Hadley, Director of Facilities, are featured on a YouTube presentation about the use of Federal dollars to improve energy efficiency.
New LED lights have been installed in the parking lots which use less energy. Instead of using 400 watt bulbs, the new ones are 110 watts.
Hadley talks about the retrofitting of windows, which don’t have a big payback, have gotten rid of drafts that employees used to complain about.
Skylights and new R-5 lights with motion censers were installed in the Highway Department Garage.
Also made more energy efficient was the Highway Garage. Utility costs went down 14%, Hadley reports.
Koehler says he wants this Federal program continued.
