City of Lynch gets Energy Audit!
Yesterday, two Lynch city buildings got a thorough energy audit to kick-start an energy efficiency project to continue into summer. Conducting the energy audit on the Lynch City Hall and Water Treatment Plant were Josh Bills and Hope Broecker of MACED (Mountain Association for Community Economic Development) with assistance from Gregory Copley from UK's Center for Applied Energy Research. There to learn and welcome them to the area, were Harlan County KFTC members Stanley Sturgill and Carl Shoupe.
Josh, Hope and Greg spent a good amount of time asking questions about the buildings energy usage, making notes, and taking pictures of all the appliances and units of the buildings that use electricity. All while Carl and Stanley reminisced about days when the Lynch coal tipple near the water plant (once the largest in the world) was in full swing.
Stay tuned for more updates on this project as KFTC, MACED, the city of Lynch, and state agencies work to get Lynch city buildings energy efficiency upgrades in the coming months! And see more pictures of yesterday's audit of the Lynch Water Plant below and on Flickr.
