  15. Energy Efficiency Example Government Center Project: • Installed Constant volume air handling units with variable frequency drives and energy efficient motors • Replaced all existing lighting fixtures (T8 32W lamps) with T8 28W lamps • Upgraded lighting control software Cost: $510,000 (one-time, nonrecurring cost) Benefit: $83,000/year lower electricity costs + 2.4 million pounds of CO2 reduced. Payback: 6.1 years
