| Project Detail |
The goal is for Native Village of Atmautluak to reduce and stabilize energy costs in tribal buildings by setting energy efficiency improvement goals. The tribal buildings in this project include the Community Hall, Gaming Department, Public Safety Building, and Traditional Council Shop. The objectives and tasks toward achieving energy efficiency goals are: Initiate building monitoring and onsite assessment Develop a data plan Establish initial meeting between Native Village of Atmautluak Traditional Council and the project manager and energy auditor Select a baseline year Collect baseline energy data Survey energy use and identify significant energy users Develop an Energy Action Plan, Maintenance Plan, and training opportunities Attend final meeting between Native Village of Atmautluak Traditional Council and the project manager and energy auditor to discuss results and next steps. The outcome of this project is the Native Village of Atmautluak Energy Action Plan, which prioritizes actions to be taken and establishes a timeline for implementation. The completed energy audit process, done in conjunction with the Tribe, will empower the Native Village of Atmautluak with energy-efficient, safe, and comfortable buildings. The buildings can showcase to the community what the energy efficiency retrofit process looks like, and inspire other community members to take similar, smaller steps to retrofit their own homes and businesses. |
