C1c. Please <br />describe your <br />project’s benefits, <br />including those that <br />are quantifiable. (150 <br />word limit) <br />This program will benefit Carrboro residents by providing energy efficiency <br />education and training. Twenty-five households will receive an energy <br />audit. This will help them make informed decisions about ways to improve <br />the energy efficiency of their residences and the costs and benefits of <br />replacing older, gas equipment, with efficient, all-electric units. Residents <br />who take action as a result will benefit from lower energy bills. The entire <br />Town will benefit from reductions in emissions. Homeowners who complete <br />energy efficiency improvements on their homes will also increase the value <br />of their residences. <br />Staff anticipate reaching 231 households through the program, with an <br />estimated 115 households reducing energy use by 5%, 108 households <br />reducing energy use by 10%, and eight households reducing energy use by <br />15%. This will result in a reduction of energy use in Carrboro by 249,027 <br />kW h and 291.28 BTI annually, resulting in a reduction of 67.41 metric tons <br />CO2e. <br />C1d.
