P a g e 24 o f 2 3 <br />Criterion 7 - Time to Complete <br />Submission Guidance <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />38. How much time will your <br />project require to demonstrate <br />the positive impacts you <br />describe? <br />The decision to install Solarban 70 will produce savings <br />immediately. Because of the exceptional solar control <br />characteristics of Solarban 70 glass, smaller HVAC systems are <br />appropriate for buildings glazed with this product. Consequently, <br />TAC could see a significant reduction in the associated up-front <br />capital outlay in the HVAC equipment. Once occupying the space <br />in the winter of 2023, this product will immediately begin <br />reducing the cooling load and greenhouse emissions in <br />comparison with similar buildings not using Solarban 70. When <br />installed correctly, this product will withstand most weather and <br />is built to survive the life of the building. <br /> <br />The impact of the LED lighting and controls project will be <br />immediate. The energy efficiency of the lighting and sensors will <br />impact the usage of energy from moment the building is <br />completed, and power is engaged. <br /> <br />Installing automatic roller shades will have an immediate impact <br />on the efficiency of the new ArtsCenter. Once the shades are <br />installed, The ArtsCenter will see a decrease in energy <br />requirements. <br /> <br />As a dense and vibrant downtown, Carrboro has the reputation <br />of a community that enjoys the opportunity to bike and walk to <br />points of interest. Carrboro is also a community that puts value in <br />environmental initiatives. Therefore, this project will begin <br />demonstrating the positive impact upon completion of the <br />building in spring of 2023. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Applications are to be submitted as email attachments to Orange County Sustainability Coordinator, <br />Brennan Bouma at bbouma@orangecountync.gov. Please also CC the lead staff member supporting the <br />Commission of the Environment, Wesley Poole at wpoole@orangecountync.gov. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: FC54AC26-7897-4270-8EA1-D754CD59EA76
