BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Over the past several months, the Kettleman Court apartments at 931/937 Kettleman Lane here in Lodi, have undergone significant structural and aesthetic improvements. Some of the structural improvements have included designated and approved energy conservation enhancements, including: ➢ Installation of one hundred sixty (160) low -E, dual -paned windows, with the National Fenestration Rating Council's seal of approval; and > removal of existing inefficient HVAC (heating/cooling/ventilation) units, and installation of forty-six (46) high efficiency HVAC units on individual apartments throughout the complex; the new HVAC units are all Rheem/RUUD 2 -ton, 12.0 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) units. As a result of these energy conservation improvements, individual apartment dwellers will enjoy increased comfort within their home, while also reducing energy consumption by an estimated 10 percent on a monthly basis (this figure will vary depending upon the run-time of HVAC equipment, and other household appliances). The Public Benefits Program grant in the amount of $23,482.93 reflects the standard 20 percent match for a commercial customer energy conservation improvement project. The City of Lodi Electric Utility respectfully recommends approval of this project as an approved element of the City of Lodi Public Benefits Program, and designated energy conservation measures for commercial projects.
