Honeywell Update

Mr. James Lucy and Mr. Henry Camire reviewed the progress on the Honeywell renovations throughout the district. The Honeywell renovations should be complete by November 2007. This summer work is scheduled for School Street, Maple Street and McClelland School. Mr. Lucy presented the cost savings, cost avoidance and the reduction in usage and demand for utilities. The project was planned to be funded primarily out of State Building aide, some bonded projects, and the same yearly payment to Honeywell from the previous 10 year program. The replacement of aging boilers and heating systems will provide some energy efficiency, but the need to provide fresh air will reduce some of that savings. To date, the district has saved $166,607 in electricity, water, and fuel expenditures.
