The debt issued was the $550,000 G.O. Promissory Notes, Series 2013, dated July 1, 2013.  The amount to be levied and expended is $57,828.
 
The board has identified the following required performance indicators that will measure the energy savings and/or energy cost avoidance in an amount equal to the exemption request:

SUPPLY FAN CONTROL:  THE CONSTANT SPEED SUPPLY FAN WILL BE STARTED BASED ON OCCUPANCY SCHEDULE AND THE OPTIMAL START CONTROL ROUTINE.  WHEN THE SUPPLY FAN STATUS INDICATES THE FAN STARTED, THE CONTROL SEQUENCE WILL BE ENABLED.  UPON A LOSS OF AIRFLOW, THE SYSTEM WILL AUTOMATICALLY RESTART.

OUTDOOR AIR DRY BULB ECONOMIZER CONTROL OPTION:  WHEN THE OUTDOOR AIR IS COOLER THAN THE ADJUSTABLE ECONOMIZER SETPOINT (DEFAULT VALUE 55F), THE ECONOMIZER WILL ACT AS THE INITIAL STAGE OF COOLING, WORKING IN SEQUENCE WITH THE COOLING COIL.  THE RETURN AIR CO2 SENSOR WILL BE USED TO RESET THE DAMPER MINIMUM POSITION, BASED ON A SETPOINT CALCULATED FROM OUTDOOR AIR CO2 PLUS
AN ADJUSTABLE DIFFERENTIAL

SUPPLY AIR RESET FROM ZONE TEMPERATURE CONTROL OPTION:  THE DISCHARGE AIR TEMPERATURE SETPOINT WILL BE RESET AS THE ZONE TEMPERATURE CHANGES. (THE RESET SCHEDULE WILL BE ADJUSTABLE)(DEFAULT VALUES WILL BE DA-LOW XXF, DA-HIGH XXF, ZN-LOW XXF, ZN-HIGH XXF)(ZONE TEMPERATURE SETPOINT SLIDER ADJUSTMENT WILL BE LIMITED TO +/- 2.5 1F)WARMUP/COOLDOWN MODE:  THE WARMUP/COOLDOWN MODE WILL BE INITIATED BY THE NETWORK INPUT.  THE UNIT WILL CONTROL TO OCCUPIED SETPOINTS DURING WARMUP AND COOLDOWN CYCLES.  THE DAMPERS WILL REMAIN CLOSED, UNLESS THEY ARE USED AS THE INITIAL STAGE OF COOLING, BY THE ECONOMIZER.

OCCUPIED MODE:  THE OCCUPANCY MODE WILL BE CONTROLLED VIA A NETWORK INPUT.  THE OCCUPANCY MODE CAN ALSO BE OVERRIDDEN BY A NETWORK INPUT OR A TEMPORARY OCCUPANCY SWITCH ON THE ZONE TEMPERATURE SENSOR.  THE DURATION OF THE TEMPORARY OCCUPANCY MODE WILL BE SET AT 1 HOUR PER ACTIVATION.  

UNOCCUPIED MODE:  THE UNIT WILL CYCLE TO MAINTAIN ADJUSTABLE UNOCCUPIED ZONE SETPOINTS DURING UNOCCUPIED PERIODS.  THE UNOCCUPIED ZONE HEATING SETPOINT WILL BE XXF.  THE UNOCCUPIED ZONE COOLING SETPOINT WILL BE XXF.  THE OUTDOOR AIR DAMPER(S) WILL REMAIN CLOSED UNLESS THEY ARE USED AS THE INITIAL STAGE OF COOLING, BY THE ECONOMIZER.  

An evaluation of the energy performance indicators will be included as an addendum in the required 2014-2015 published budget summary document per s. 65.90, Wis. Stats., and in the school district's newsletter or in the published minutes of the school board meeting.
