SLIDE 1
CCC Lighting Upgrade to LED
Interior and Exterior Lighting Information Meeting 8/27/2017
SLIDE 2 What is being proposed?
- Upgrade interior and exterior lighting to LED,
including most fixtures
- Cut power used for lighting by half
- Spend no more than we're spending now, but
gain long-term savings
– We're going to spend it anyway. Let's spend it on improvements instead of energy! – Borrow $41,000 max from Unrestricted Endowment to spread the cost over 10 years → budget-neutral
- Recommended by CCC Coordinating Council
SLIDE 3 Why do it?
- It’s good for the environment, honoring God’s
creation
- It will provide an example of what’s possible
- It will save us an estimated $3,750/year, based on
present rates
- It will help shield us from rate increases
- It will give us more attractive lighting
- The neighbors will love it (less light in their eyes)
SLIDE 4 Why now?
- If we wait, we keep spending on energy
instead of on improvements
- The longer we wait, the longer before we
begin to enjoy savings from the improvements
- If we move now, we receive about $21,000 in
Maryland incentives
- Now is the right time to demonstrate our
commitment to God’s creation and our future
SLIDE 5 Financial considerations
- Total cost, before incentives deducted: $62K
- Maryland emPower incentives: $21K
- Net cost to CCC (after incentives): $41K
(Finance over 10 years from $138K endowment)
- Average long-term savings: $3.75K per year
- Short-term savings: $5.58K per year
= $4.13K power + $1.45 maintenance not needed
- Loan repayment: $5.34K per year for 10 years,
including 5.5% interest Less than annual short-term savings
