Frank Phillips presented on making municipal facilities in the City of Lafayette more energy efficient through performance contracting. The goals were to reduce utility costs and emissions while supporting capital improvements and the Facility Maintenance team. Performance contracting allows selecting a firm to study and implement efficiency projects, with operational savings used to pay for improvements. A $1.27 million project identified 39 efficiency projects across infrastructure that will save $116,414 annually over 10 years through a variety of upgrades like lighting, HVAC, insulation, and traffic lights.
