Minutes for August have been accepted.

TOWN HALL
Solar system - it may be installed as early as the first week in November.
It was decided to locate the revenue grade meter in the lobby to the
left of the fire alarm panel.
The module configuration will have to be decided before the modules are
installed on the roof.
Winserts - at this time there are no plans to work on the winserts for
the upstairs town hall. 
Storm Windows - Jack is working on the storm window order with David.
The contractor who installed the last set of storms is no longer in
business. A possible contractor is Carbone in Keene.

WARWICK COMMUNITY  SCHOOL
Data Loggers - Jack and Steve will redeploy data loggers in the occupied
space in November.

Building Performance Audit - 
Attending: Keith Abbott representing Energy Audits and Consulting
Reggie Amidon representing Thermal House

Jim read the solicitation, gave an update on the sprinkler system and a
history of the relation ship of Warwick and PVRS concerning the ESCO's.
We may have $10 - $20K for some work. David is working on some funding
for the school.  This is not a sealed bid so there is room to talk about
issues that arise that we have not discussed yet.
Jim will call Cozy Home and Beyond Green to see if they are still interested..

Keith Abbott has done a lot of work on public buildings. He asked if
there was state money still available for this project. He is
recommending that we find out what is not working and then fix it. He is
also recommending that we do some basic tests, such as a blower door
test, air exchange test, infrared thermography, checking the
distribution efficiency and energy modeling with TREAT software. A ball
park cost for energy modeling would be $4000 - $5000. He wants to take a
look at the building and determine what is the best methodology to
repair the building. He will asses the building in terms of energy
consumption.  If Warwick wants an electrical audit the he would call in
a subcontractor. To put in a proposal he wants to look at the building
and talk with some school personnel.

Barbara reported uneven heating in the entire building since it was
built and large icicles in the back of the school.
Jack noted that Warwick owns the building and the school district rents
it. It is not clear who is responsible for work such as this, where
normally the town pays for capital improvements and the district shares
the benefit of reduced operating costs.
Janice will send an energy usage spread sheet to Keith and contact David
about setting a date with Keith, Steve Field, and Nathan (the custodian)
to view the building.
 
Meeting adjourned 8:10
