1 Meeting Minutes Alternative Energy Committee Town Hall Selectmen s Meeting Room, 7:30 p.m., 9/10/2018 AEC Attendees Steve Girardi, Vice Chair Marie Caristi McDonald Josiah Stevenson, Secretary Bill Fusco Andrew Muir Eric Seuss Steve Wenner Other Attendees Jeanne Astino School Committee Abigail Adams Cohasset Mariner Martha Gangemi Meeting Minutes Meeting Minutes for June 2018 were approved. Active Items: 1. Streetlight Procurement and Conversion (Brian Joyce, Chris Senior, Steve Girardi) National Grid s Purchase and Sale Agreement includes $13,000+ for all 500+ streetlights and grants the Town a credit for the eighty eight inoperative streetlights. Chris Senior to contact National Grid to clarify (1) credit for the off-line streetlights and (2) when the inoperative streetlight repairs will be complete. 11/14/2016: Grant to be announced December /9/2017: Brian Joyce in negotiation of contract, waiting to hear from Patrick Roach at MAPC to see if there is a grant and assessment from National Grid. Steve Girardi recommends looking at the different light color installations in Bare Cove. 2/13/2017: Cohasset owns street lights as of February 7th. 511 maintain lights. lights. Contract with organization to install and 3/20/2017: Brian Joyce disappointed by amount of MAPC funding. $32,000 is available. Relamping estimated at $300/ light - $150-$170,000 total. 5/15/2017: Steve Girardi suggests a mock up of two light temperatures, 4,000 K and 3,000K, either at Town Hall or in school parking lot. $32,000 grant for conversion, $170,000 cost. There is a proposal for financing 100% of the streetlights, details being negotiated. 7/24/2017: Location likely near Art Center/ Pat s Barbershop. LEDs: $38, DOER grant reserved for Cohasset (managed by MAPC) 8/21/2017: Town is seeking proposals for financing beyond the grant. Intent is to set up a survey through the town website to determine the temperature of the bulbs to choose.

2 9/18/2017: Pilot program will display 4 different lights for community response. 2 4,000 Kelvin and 2 at 3,000 Kelvin, of different wattages. It will take 90 days to order and install. There are no controls on these lights because they add significant cost to each installation. 10/23/2017: LED street light display will include two options for community response via e-survey. Decision forthcoming. 12/11/2017: LED installation in December, suggested to allow 2 survey responses per household. 1/22/2018: Lights are installed. Michelle Leary reported that it was advised to give guided tours so townspeople will understand what they are looking at. Steve Girardi agreed. 2/26/2018: March 6 & 13 set for streetlight tour. (note: After meeting Mariner article states this has been postponed) 3/19/2018: 3,000K light (warmer #2) preferred by tour of 11 people. Survey will come to a conclusion. 4/23/2018: $33,000 to replace heads of street lights ($100 per light - $50 per head +$50 to install), cost of full replacement is more than twice that. Committee voted to recommend proceeding with Phase I and starting process for Phase 2. 5/21/2018: AEC recommended town take advantage of funds. Phased approach will allow for a portion of lights to be upgraded. 6/23/2018: Cara Goodman is the MAPC Clean Energy Coordinator for the town. MAPC has reserved $38,000 grant for the installation. High pressure sodium is phasing out. LED life is 20 years and reduces operations and maintenance. MAPC deadline is extended to March 19 and work must be done by then to take advantage of the grant. Allocation of funds may have to go in front of town meeting, which makes the timing a challenge. Installation can take three weeks minimum, and winter conditions is not a good time to install. CBC needs a form filled out on line. Eric Seuss agreed to do that. Estimated savings, $35,000 per year, payback is under three years. MAPC goes through 40B process for the town, solicits bids, etc. Capital Budget attendees advised not to change character of the town and claim LED lights do just that. There was some question about temperature of the bulb, so Cara Goodman and Steve Girardi will look into 2700K bulbs, in lieu of the 3000K 8/6/2018: Eric Seuss to compose a letter to the Advisory Committee proposing how to proceed with the street light initiative. Letter will be discussed at the next meeting. Advisory Committee to release $200k. The issues are 3000 K vs K lamps and whether to recommend smart contollers. The consensus was to get cost information to make an informed recommendation. 9/10/2018: We will have prices for 3,000 Kelvin light prices in a couple of weeks. AEC unanimously supported LED street lights. Next cost is estimated to be $77,000 with a 2.6 year payback 2. Status of Old Landfill PV Array Development:

3 The three-parcel merger into one Lot has been filed with the Registry of Deeds, and the closure Permit application has been accepted. National Grid has fully executed the Interconnect Service Agreement. AEC met with Planning Board twice in fall. DPW now requesting above ground electrical lines due to operations along the landfills access road. One issue settles will submit the Post-Closure Use application for DEP. 10/17/2016: Work must be substantially complete by May 8, Town never received closure permit for landfill. November 2 Planning Board hopefully will hear from DEP. If approvals come by the end of November, then system design can begin and construction can start in January. This is a very tight schedule. 11/14/2016: Town engineer to make recommendations. Positive meeting, some concerns regarding grounding, cap slope etc. 12/1/2016 Planning Board s final approval of the project filed Dec 1, /14/2016: Awaiting DEP closure and post-closure permits. Expecting January start. 1/9/2017: Closure/ post closure permits have been issued by the DEP. Waiting for contractors, installation to take 2-3 weeks. 2/13/2017: Needs to be completed by May 8. National Grid needs to connect and that may take over the summer. Security cameras, cost of monitoring in question. 3/20/2017: Approved for construction. Panels to be shipped and arrive within 2 weeks. 5/15/2017: We are generating power, just need an easement to connect. Potential roadblock: National Grid asked for easement for poles. Town voted to grant land for easement. 7/24/2017: National Grid looking for easement for telephone poles within property lines. Facility is complete, N Grid needs to connect to the grid, new poles required, wait for metering, then can start commissioning and testing. Hopefully, this will be completed in 2-4 weeks. 8/21/2017: System is being tested and punch listed. Once there are 7 days of continuous operation, it will be handed over to the town. There is a temporary permit for an easement that needs to be voted on at town meeting for permanence. 9/18/2017: System is complete and operational! 12/11/2017: $4,400 comes back to the town every month. Agreement to push school solar forward. 1/22/2018: To date the old landfill solar facility has produced over $155,000 kwhrs and saved the Town over $13,500 in energy costs according to the Actual Net Monthly Benefits report from CohSolar. 2/26/2018: The SolarEdge dashboard website showing power and energy generated by Old landfill solar array is now available to the public on the Town of Cohasset s website. The SolarEdge Dashboard" relates weather to power and energy production (in real-time) This site also indicates two environmental benefits: CO2 emission saved and equivalent trees planted. To find the link, go to the Alternative Energy Committee s webpage (listed under Government). On the upper corner of the AEC webpage, you will find Quick Links. Open the first link: "Cohasset Solar Array Production Information. 3/19/2018: System generates 3.4 Mw with frequent snowfall of last month. 3/19/2018: Bill Fusco to spearhead ways to communicate with the town and schools via the dashboard. 4/23/2018: Bill & Scott Kaplan will work on dashboard town will likely save $55,000 per year.

4 5/21/2018: Bill presented a sample web page showing potential savings, possibly in real time. 6/23/2018: Outreach: Committee will speak with Editor of the Mariner about monthly displays of town savings. Live activity and savings will also be on a learning commons website. 8/6/2018: Bill Fusco is working on the dashboard. There are 4 key indicators to be conveyed. Also Cohasset Mariner will be asked to publish monthly update with a graphic that we provide. 9/10/2018: $59,000 in savings so far. 3. Energy Education in the Schools 9/10/2018: School Committee looking to create a visible sign of monitoring in the library for sustainability classes. 4. Town Solar Canopies: 12/11/2017: 64 KwH from solar canopies. Duxbury is an example. Parking lots at the school and MBTA lots were discussed. Safety and security were issues with the school parking lot. 1/22/2018: AEC committee member expressed interest in learning more about Solar Canopy projects. Steve Wenner volunteered to seek an expert informant, preferable from another town committee, for the February 26 meeting. 2/26/2018: Principal of Industrial Engineering presented their work on solar canopies. 2/26/2018: Basic Information: Typically these are installed in open parking lots. After June 30 there will be changes to the regulations. Developer works through approvals. Price per watt in the $3 range. 100 spaces are a minimum to make this work economically. Canopies will be installed at West Hingham Station and Nantasket Junction. Cohasset may be next. 2/26/2018: Construction: Foundations are drilled at the parking space junctures. They typically cover two rows of parking and are either sloped to the center and drained between the cars or sloped one direction and the water is collected in a gutter 2/26/2018: Town parking: Sandy Beach 120 Village 78 High School 60 Senior Center 56 Library 56 9/10/2018: No new information from engineers. 5. Electricity Community Choice 9/10/2018: Aggregation is an opportunity to save money and enables town to more toward a renewable electicity generation. Town chooses a broker who negotiates for a discounted price. Part is renewable energy. Master Plan states it may reconsider this in the future. Plymouth had a successful program. AEC is looking to invite someone to present on this issue.

5 Next AEC meetings: October 15, 2018: Aggregation November 12, 2018: 100% renewable by a determined date Old Business: a. Green Community Grant Applications Year 2 10/17/2016: Year 2 due in February. National Grid conducted energy audit on the ECM s identified as part of energy reduction plan. Brian Joyce awaiting results. 11/14/2016: Estimates from National Grid expected in mid-december, no update 12/14/2016: Year 2 application due February 10. Eric Seuss has reviewed the application process and will represent AEC providing assistance to Brian Joyce. Goal of reducing 20% in 5 years as a green community 2.5% last year and with street light retrofit an additional 2% is likely. 1/9/2017: Expecting response Wednesday, January 11. This is late in the process. Mary Jo Larson and Steve Girardi to review. 2/13/2017: Grant application is due March 3. MJL working with Brian Joyce to determine National Grid information. Jeanne Astino requested solar powered sign. This grant doesn t provide new items. Suggested get in touch with Ron Menard. 3/20/2017: $1.3 M worth of projects for energy reduction Town eligible for grant up to $250,000 per year. Year 2 grant application submitted March 3, 2017 requests: HVAC controls (4 projects) for Middle/High School = $148,200 HVAC controls at Deer Hill Elementary school = $41,600 Police-Fire Station (#) = $37,960 Total: $257,600. 7/24/2017: Grant awarded: $177,400 on June 19, awarded to Diane Kennedy. Mostly for heating and A/C controls at Deer Hill and the Middle/High School. 8/21/2017: Remainder of Town s Year 2 request for $257,600 will be funded by National Grid ($80,260) 10/23/2017: Kick off meeting with contractors, estimated completion, first week in January. 12/11/2017: Materials on order for Year 2 activities. HVAC improvements estimated completion January 1. Started assessment for Year 3 grants.

6 1/22/2018: Phase II: Some utility incentives were denied. Consultant is looking at measures, but work and payments must be completed by February 1 st. Given the late denial, town is asking for expedited resolution. 2/26/2018: Town is moving ahead with $144,000 with school HVAC improvements. This is $80,000 less due to funding issue. 3/19/2018: Chris Senior & Brian Joyce should meet with AEC clarify deadlines. b. Green Community Grant Applications Year 3 1/22/2018: Phase III grant application is on hold until Phase II is resolved. 2/26/2018: There will be no submission for year 3 4. Municipal Energy Technical Assistance Grant (Patricia Gooding, Marie Caristi): Cohasset will apply for the 2017 grant, which provides up to $12,500/yr for a technical assistant to assist the Town with: MassEnergyInsight data system uploads Green Community Grant Applications Energy Conservation Measure implementations Commodity Contract Negotiation and Review 2/13/2017: Discussion of sharing grant with Hingham. Technical assistant is a part time job, came out in April last year. Need to follow up with Hingham. 4/10/2017: Waiting to see if we can apply for 2017 META Grant, it may come out soon. This is an opportunity to go through MAPC to expand to other towns. 5/15/2017: Grant awarded, will go to reporting and monitoring. Report in upcoming meeting. PG noted that the electric vehicles add electric usage to the town energy consumption, so there should be a way to rationalize the energy savings of not needing to reimburse personal car use. The data is available for mileage reimbursement on one hand and the smart meters can provide information on the electric vehicle usage, however, these costs are not the same type of data. This will be a topic of the next meeting. 12/11/2017: In 2017, Cohasset received a grant of $5,000 and a technical assistant has been working on the town s Green Communities Annual Report due Dec 11, /23/2018: Patricia Gooding is leaving the committee. With Brian Joyce up to speed Bill Fusco will follow up with this. 6. Virtual Net Metering Credit Option with Soltage LLC (Chris Senior, Steve Girardi) Soltage is seeking off-takers for a VNMC agreement, similar to what Town was originally planning with Solar

7 City, for a new PV Array. Mark Miller stated following terms: 20% net savings; No escalation 20 year term; 2 5 year options for renewal Fully loaded - includes both transmission and supply 10/17/2016: Town Manager reviewed contract sent by Soltage; not a very good price. 7. Presentation by Town Hall Renovation Addition Committee Mary McGoldrick, Chair of THRAC, presented the conceptual design and overall financial intent of a renovated and partial new town hall. Much of the discussion centered around cost effective energy savings. Permeable paving: This would decrease storm water run off significantly from the site s current impervious condition. High R value insulation: Along with energy efficient and well sealed windows, this is a common sense approach to reducing energy use saving costs. Geothermal wells: This option should be investigated. Either by using the part of the site that is not built, or even the Common, geothermal seems to possibly save significant energy use. Solar panels: Town Hall faces southwest and the gable runs southeast. This is not ideal for maximizing solar power generation. The longest run of panels would be along the SE facing roof of the historic building. This may have implications with the historic groups reviewing the project. However, this should be investigated further. AEC suggested three goals: 1. Preserve the historic qualities while improving the functional design, 2. Manage capital budget and 3. Conserve energy and related costs. 4/23/2018: Second Meeting: The building design has become more efficient less volume by reducing floor to floor heights. The selectmen chose to separate the function of the new building with the old while still attaching them. Consequently, the floor area of the addition increased. Energy efficiencies will be explored more in the next phase, pending town approval. Mechanical systems and lighting will be much more efficient. Items recommended to explore are geothermal wells, solar panels if acceptable to Common Historic Committee, etc. 8. Community Solar Programs 4/10/2017: Tim DiSousa from Direct Energy Solar presented a community solar program that is underway in Hingham. Mary Jo reminded the committee that we cannot endorse a specific vendor, we are here to understand the program potential.

8 A new system costs $20-30K, federal tax incentives cover up to 30% of that cost. Purchasing solar is complex, but with a number of installations effort and cost encourages more households joining the program. Mass incentive will likely change in early 2018, so now is a good time to participate. Piggy backing on to Solar Hingham is a possibility. Benefits include discounted pricing, training of volunteers and extensive marketing support. 8/21/2017: town cannot endorse one provider over another and Direct Energy Solar has taken itself out of the domestic market. Group needs a new approach. 12/11/2017: 350 Mass: 100% Renewable energy objective. Jan. 29 forum (last two at Glastonbury Abbey) Organizers looking for speakers. Tanya Bodell, Scott Kaplan could be speakers. 1/22/2018: Steve Wenner will present on electric vehicles. 9. Solar Panels on CMHS Roof: 1/22/2018: Tanya Bodell presented opportunities for solar energy array on Middle/High School roof. This did not proceed in 2011 because the roof was half way through its lifetime. Due to current leaks, an aging roof and reducing Investment tax credits now is the time to begin to look seriously at a new roof and solar panels to have them installed by /22/2018: Committee voted unanimously to recommend the Town to form a subcommittee made up of AEC, School Committee and members of the town to investigate the process to solicit bids for a solar array on the CMHS roof. Town Manager Chris Senior is considering setting up this sub-committee. Andrew Muir was nominated to be the AEC s representative 3/19/2018: Roof is 17 years old on a 20 year warrantee. Solar installation and new roof need to be timed concurrently. Exploration should start relatively soon for best timing of grant. 4/23/2018: Andrew Muir, Tanya Bodell & Chris Senior to explore RFP from years ago, information is still viable. Replacement will be several years away, but process should begin. 5/21/2018: Ad hoc committee met once, to meet again soon. Tanya Bodell will check if 5 year old approval has expired. Palmer Capital will be asked if they are still interested and will hold their price. One suggestion is to put out an RFP to check costs. Mass. School Building Authority funding is not available on roofs less than 20 years old, CHMS roof is 17 years old. 6/23/2018: Committee will wait until new business manager comes on boards to begin this process. Andrew Muir and Tonya Bodell will take the lead. 8/6/2018: There will be a pause until the new Business Manager does research.

9 10. MEI Database and Reporting: 7/24/2017: PG is the only one who knows how MEI works. Town applied for grant- $5,000/yr. One staff member will take over for Pat, but AEC advises two people be trained. Town needs to realize this is not a significant effort, it is fairly routine. DOER is offering training in August AEC recommends two staff attend. Specific oversight and maintenance of the Town s energy database is required for: 1. Review of data input - addressing any gaps. 2. On-going reporting re DOER target to reduce Town s reduce energy use by 20% in 5 years. 3. Valuate energy usage across departments to identify high priority opportunities for energy efficiency initiatives and evaluate energy savings to assess return on investment. 4. Provide energy costs and any associated savings projections to inform Town Budgeting decisions. 8/21/2017: Michelle Leary attended the state seminar on extracting the energy use data. There were 40 no-data categories or nulls perhaps due to old equipment or old account numbers. This highlights the need for people responsible for Departments and budgets to identify wrong data. This requires additional clarity and understanding to be able to interpret the information. P. Gooding recommended using 2015 as baseline year. 9/18/2017: Michelle Leary attended training along with other towns. Chris Senior and Brian Joyce are awaiting a report to help determine the priorities and how to organize the data to get what we want from it. Base line year is /22/2018: Michelle Leary will provide electric car energy savings information to Steve Wenner. 1/22/2018: The Green Communities Annual Report for the period July 1, 2016-July 30, 2017 was submitted to DOERR on Dec 11, Technical Assistant, Axum Teferra worked with the Town to prepare the report. 6/23/2018: This will be addressed in August 8/6/2018: Bill Fusco is interested in taking over this effort, now that Patricia Gooding has left the Committee.

10 Other Energy Conservation Initiatives Energy Audit of Water Distribution and Treatment Plant, Pumping Stations. (Brian Joyce): National Grid (Michael Skinner) has hired J.K Muir to conduct the energy audit (no cost to Town). Report due from Michael Skinner. 10/17/2016: Report due from Michael Skinner. 11/14/2016: Nothing new to report Demand Response Enrollment (Brian Joyce, Chris Senior, Steve Girardi 2.) Steve to contact Tanya Bodell for an estimate of potential value to Town (AEC presentation?)

Now waiting for official release of RFP. (September?) 10/17/2016: Town must pass by law so towns can aggregate. Warrant article is possible for spring meeting, needs to be in warrant in March. 11/14/2016: Nothing new to report 5/15/2017: Need grant for study. Dense square mile of Police/Fire, Town Hall suggested. As we are the end of the line and we lose our electricity often, we are an ideal prototype project. 1/22/2018: Steve Girardi is monitoring options. COMPLETED ITEMS: 1. Green Community Year 1 Grant Implementations: Completed With an initial grant of $141, 460, estimated savings for the work below is 2.5% of Town s annual energy consumption i. Exterior lighting upgrade at Cohasset Middle/High School ii. Exterior lighting upgrade at Osgood Elementary School iii. Exterior lighting upgrade at Deer Hill Elementary School iv. Exterior lighting upgrade at Cohasset DPW Facility b. MassEnergyInsight (MEI) Log-in Rights Completed: With guidance from Patricia Gooding, Town intern Angela Dahlstrom has completed input of data uploads to MEI database system. Log-in rights (view only) include School Department, Fire Chief Silvia, AP/AR/Finance employees and other Department Heads. Mary Snow now has read/write access to upload MEI data. 10/17/2016: Intern is assisting with data input, through December 23rd. 11/14/2016: On target, updates in progress 12/14/2016: Need a new intern for input data. Angela to give presentation to committee.

11 3/20/2017: Goal is to get more than 2-3 people to know how system works, but town is comfortable entering numbers. PG agrees to be key person for oversight. One goal is for town departments to see savings impact. 5. Warrant Article: Emergency Services for Buildings with Solar Energy Systems (Mary Jo Larson, Bob Silvia) Completed: Warrant article approved at 2016 Fall Town meeting. The proposed ByLaw establishes safety standards for commercial and residential solar energy systems based upon latest NEC and NFPA code. 6. Electric Vehicle and Charging Station Initiative (Brian Joyce, Mary Jo Larson) Completed The MA Electric Vehicle Incentive Program has awarded the Town of Cohasset $33,000 to lease three (3) electric vehicles and install Level 2 dual head charging stations. Vehicles will be assigned to Public Safety (Fire and Police Department), Elder Affairs and the School/Other Municipal employees. Lease payments of $60-100/month offset by gas reimbursements and maintenance costs for existing vehicles. Charging stations to be located at the Fire and Police Department, Main Library (or elder affairs) and behind Town Hall. (2-headed) 10/17/2016: Final Pricing is imminent and we are cautiously optimistic. There were 3 bids, 2 of them the same price. TM and AEC met with the Capital Budget Committee and received unanimous approval for this initiative. 12/14/2016: Town signed contract for 3 EV to have possession next week. Getting final costs for dual head charging station, around $10,500 + additional $2,000 for installation. Town could put in less expensive charging stations at other sites. 1/9/2017: Charging stations have been installed, town has vehicles. Plug in station behind fire station. 2/13/2017: Foundation for dual headed charging stations delayed due to weather. DPW completed work, waiting on electrician. By the end of the week, charging stations should be working. 3/20/2017: Great reviews from users. Elderly Affairs more happy in electric cars than vans. Currently running all cars through Town Hall charging station. 7/24/2017: School has places to park inside. Shawn Selha s Declaration: 12/14/2016: Working with Town Manager and BOS to develop a proclamation recognizing Shawn Selha s contributions to Town of Cohasset at 2017 annual town meeting May 1, /20/2017: AEC members voted unanimously in support of Shaun Selha Proclamation to be announced at the Annual Town Meeting. 5/15/2017: Declaration made at town meeting. CCSCR Partnership: National Grid project in two phases: (1) Initial site visit, audit and ECM s implementation proposal from Rise Engineering. (2) The second phase will be for renewable energy projects. AEC may use Green Community Grant Funds for the implementation of the ECM s or other projects. Report Due from Michael Skinner 11/14/2016: The auditor thought town would not qualify for a green communities incentive. Limited savings with the Coastal Research Center 5/15/2017: For record, this is closed out too small. PHASE 2: POTENTIAL GREEN COMMUNITY GRANT INITIATIVES (Grant application due Feb 10, 2017)

12 We would like a National Grid TA to conduct a more detailed energy audit on the ECM s below that we identified as part of our energy reduction plan. The original TA report did not really address much on the HVAC or thermal side of the equation in terms of natural gas savings. We plan to refine these cost and savings numbers for our 2017 Green Communities Grant application.
