20. Accelerating the Inevitable
Using “We are Still In” & “Ready for 100% Renewable Energy” to Plan for and Measure Future Energy Transitions

22. Renewable Energy Survey – Summer 2017
96 percent of the 186 respondents who had an opinion on the following question “supported” (7%) or “strongly supported” (89%) the Town’s investment in solar energy.
The question:
Over the past several years, and in furtherance of Durham's comprehensive Master Plan, the Town has pursued opportunities to invest solar energy electricity systems. Currently, the Town owns or leases enough solar generating equipment to cover approximately 60% of the electricity demand from Town-owned buildings and streetlights at a cost comparable to what the Town would pay Eversource for the same amount of electricity.
Please select the answer that best reflects your position on Durham's effort to meet its electricity needs through renewable sources.

25. Portfolio Manager & ClearPath
Starting in 2010, Durham conducted a comprehensive energy audit using the STOCC (Small Town Carbon Calculator), identifying the relative proportion of energy expenditure and environmental impacts of its municipal activities. Since then, we have used the EPA’s Portfolio Manager to monitor our 15 municipal buildings, participate in a NH building portfolio project, and measure the relative performance of new buildings and various upgrades and renovations.
