/ SPOTLIGHT on Kevin Greene Ï Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, September 25,1985 11 Former Students of Starkville S.S. 10 Gather for Reunion Kevin Greene, the energy auditor for the Town of.Newcastle, started his new job on September 9 and will be spending the year reviewing the municipality's municipality's energy needs. His recommendations could save the town between 10 and 20 per cent in future fuel costs. The town's newest municipal municipal employee is responsible responsible for seeing that the taxpayers' taxpayers' dollars don't go out the windows, doors and walls through wasted energy. "Basically, I'm here to save the town money r iy way I possibly can," said Kevin Greene, the municipality's municipality's energy auditor. Mr. Greene was hired on the basis of a one-year contract contract through a government program which helps pay his salary. A graduate of the Mohawk College energy systems engineering engineering technology program, program, he will be inspecting buildings and equipment owned by the municipality to ensure that they are as efficient as possible. Then he will recommend measures which can be taken to save energy and money. It's a process which could result in savings of between 10 and 20 per cent, he notes. In an interview last week, Mr. Greene explained that he has only recently started his duties. However, his job may be divided into three parts. First there's a historical historical audit to see a particular building's energy consumption consumption trend in the past. Next comes a walkthrough walkthrough audit in which he visually inspects each building to look for immediate immediate energy saving ideas. Finally, he completes a diagnostic audit which includes includes more advanced calculations calculations using thermodynamic thermodynamic principles. When he completes his study of a particular building, building, he will know where each unit of energy is going. A new building, properly designed could use 90 per cent of the energy required by a conventional structure. But Mr. Greene notes that a business decision must be made when deciding whether it's wise to spend the additional costs to produce produce the required energy savings. Indeed, it will be up to town council to review his recommendations for energy efficiency and decide decide which measures should be taken to save money for the town and the taxpayer. There are some energy efficiency efficiency efforts which require require no capital outlet and can be accomplished immediately. immediately. Others represent represent hi-tech materials and equipment and mean a monetary investment. So, while the energy auditor auditor can make recommendations, recommendations, the final decision will be up to town council. ti&M.
