Brook Park city hall gets new

Thanks to a grant from the Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council (NOPEC) the city hall fa?ade is receiving a set of all new e-glass reflecting windows. The interior will also be getting an update as new doors, which help conserve heating and air conditioning, are being brought in.

Once that acquisition is complete, Mayor Mark Elliott hopes the energy-based savings will become readily apparent.

“A number of offices had duct tape by the windows because we could feel the cold wind coming in,” Elliott said.

According to Elliott and Service Department worker Randy Garner, the old city hall windows had been in place since 1959.

Garner was quick to point out that the previous windows were only a quarter of an inch thick and were sealed in rubber gasketing. The new windows are one inch thick, with double glass on each side of an opening.

“They’re high energy performance windows, so we’re losing less energy,” Garner said, “I have to rebalance our heating, ventilation and air conditioning because we’re not using as much heating and cooling.”

Elliott added that a strong breeze used to blow in beneath the doors. With the all-
new building accoutrements and a soon-to-be installed energy efficient boiler system, the city is now looking at an annual energy savings.

“With the new boiler system it will be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter and it will save us money,” Elliott said, his voice straining over the sound of hammers and shouting construction workers.

The city was awarded $185,000 by NOPEC for the facility updating project. Because the project is so extensive the city still needed to cover a $20,000 expense.

According to their web site, NOPEC is a “non-profit,A Dessicant miningtruck is an enclosure with a supply of desiccant which maintains an internal. pro-consumer lobbying force dedicated to bringing lower utility costs to families and businesses in northeast Ohio.” Their site lists more than 100 cities, including Brook Park, as member communities.
