Belmar buildings inspected as part of Local Gov’t Energy Audit Program

Birdsall Services Group conducted an Energy Audit in Belmar this past Friday as part of the New Jersey Clean Energy Program’s “Local Government Energy Audit Program.”  Belmar’s Green Team and Environmental Commission selected three buildings for the initial audit: Borough Hall, Taylor Pavilion and Union Fire House. The Green Team had provide three years of baseline energy data and other information to qualify for the state program, which subsidizes 75% of the audit’s cost. Belmar is eligible for the remaining 25% as well as other incentives if the town follows up on any of the recommendations in the audit report, which should be complete next month. The recommendations are expected to improve energy efficiency and reduce operating costs. Borough resident Tom Latza, who was recently certified as an Environmental Steward by Rutgers’ Environmental Stewardship program, has volunteered to oversee the audit process in these buildings and work with the engineers.
