Utility savings

Utility savings appear low. Book offset with AC? (Compare new buildings v.
existing buildings)

A 20% savings is significant and that number is based on past studies of renovations and energy efficiency upgrades in school capital projects. It is important to note that OSFC requires air conditioning in state-funded projects, something that we do not currently have in our buildings. If the District adds air conditioning to the project, something not required if we are a non-OSFC project, then the utility cost savings may be reduced or offset.
