Page 10-A?THE BRUNSWICK BEAD Firm Propc BY TERRY POPE Brunswick County schools can help save on energy costs by taking down florescent light fixtures from its gyms and placing them in older classroom buildings. That is only one of the suggestions listed in an engineering report by A.E. LeBlanc Inc. of Raleigh, who is seeking an energy management contract with the schools. I^eBlanc recently completed an engineering study at all 11 county schools to determine how close the company estimated its energy savings to the board. A.E. I^eBlanc told the board Monday an estimated $121,308 annually in energy savings is close to what the schooLs can expect to receive. iv neip me suiuuus save un uuiuy bills, the company would install computerized equipment that would monitor room temperatures and heating and cooling systems. When the systems are installed, the company would be able to monitor each school individually from its Raleigh office, lieHlanc said. Most of the older classroom buildings use incandescent lighting, with 300-watt bulbs, while florescent lights would be more economical, !>eBlanc said. Also, there are far too many florescent lights used to light the schools' gyms, he added. Adopting the energy-saving system would cost the schools $241,236, which would be paid over a five-year period from the schools' guaranteed energy savings. The schools would pay 75 percent of Its energy savings to the company for five years and keep 25 percent for cash flow. If the company produces more than $120,006 in savings, then the schools would divide the added savings with the company on a 50-50 basis. For the five-year period, the schools' annual utility allocation would not increase, which School Superintendent Clenc Yarbrough said pleased County Manager Hilly Carter, who 1ms anticipated increasr*/~?i ?
