Subject: High Performance Manufactured Home
Energy Committee,
There is a high performance manufactured home in the parking lot of the Innovation Center ("GE Building")128 Lakeside Avenue, Burlington. It is a manufactured home, designed to be placed on a foundation, but it is the size and shape of a mobile home.
It is less expensive to own than a mobile home, and with financing, it produces cash savings from the start.
Li Ling Young (lyoung@veic.org) gave me a tour last week. I think that it is leaving soon, so hurry down to visit the building. Check out the heat pump ERV.

Open Meeting Law
****************
Chris reported on the response to his email message to Brian Bigelow and VLCT about how we could use the correspondence blog. Information sharing and administrative activities are fine, but discussing any matter or document drafting are not. Peter suggested using the blog to post subcommittee reports, so that members can prepare for meetings and a full quorum review can occur in one meeting cycle.
7:37
Post Office Project
*******************
Tom reported that the Energy Committee's post office project has been planned and will be undertaken soon. It was agreed that the project would start 16 September at 8:30, and if additional time is needed the work would continue on the 26th.
Bob reported that Roland Maheux will install the cold-climate heat pump 10 October at 7:30.

************************************
It was agreed that the event, "Energy Options Today," will be held Tuesday, 28 October, 7:00-9:00, most likely in the town hall. There was discussion about impact of significant heat pump market penetration on the winter peak electrical demand. Steve recommended a time budget of 5 minutes per vendor.
