Award Description: Energy Efficiency Building Retrofit - The existing roof of the City of Tigard's 11,840-square-foot Permit Center facility has failed. Some areas of the roof have deteriorated to the point that the R-Value could be zero. Grant money will be used to replace the failed roof with a new Energy Star compliant roof. The new roof system will carry an R-Value of 20.5. The City estimates roof replacement will result in a 13-percent reduction in energy use, (approximately 1003 therms per year, or 20,060 therms over the 20-plus life of the new roof). This translates to a reduction in GHG emissions of 5 metric tons of CO2 annually, or 100 metric tons of CO2 over the life of the roof.
Project Description: The existing roof of the City of Tigard's 11,840-square-foot Permit Center facility has failed. Some areas of the roof have deteriorated to the point that the R-Value could be zero. Grant money will be used to replace the failed roof with a new Energy Star compliant roof. The new roof system will carry an R-Value of 20.5. The City estimates roof replacement will result in a 13-percent reduction in energy use. The roofing project needs to be constructed in favorable weather conditions, so construction is slated for the spring of 2010. In the interim the City will work on refining the scope of work, writing the contract, and awarding the bid. No sub recipients are planned for this project.
Infrastructure Description: The new Energy Star compliant roof will contribute to the following purposes of the Recovery Act: (1) To preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery - The project will create or retain jobs related to the manufacture, transportation, and installation of roofing products. (4) To invest in transportation, environmental protection, and other infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits - This project will assist in providing long-term economic benefits by reducing the City's energy consumption for this facility by an estimated 13 percent, or approximately 1003 therms per year, or 20,060 therms over the 20-plus life of the new roof. This translates to a reduction in GHG emissions of 5 metric tons of CO2 annually, or 100 metric tons of CO2 over the life of the roof.
