Action Committee for Energy Page 2 <br /> April 20,2005 <br /> City. Monitoring methods need to be identified as well as data collected to compare energy • <br /> efficiency of this project to typical residences built in the area. Important to note that Energy House <br /> III will not be in habited like an average residence but will be staffed five days a week by three people <br /> until sometime in 2008 after which the house will be available for purchase. The hope is to meet and <br /> exceed 2006 energy efficiency standards determined by monitoring devices and methods to be <br /> decided on at a later date. <br /> 6. Elk River School Update <br /> Ron didn't make it to the meeting but the school is expected to be a great success in demonstrating <br /> "green","sustainable",energy efficient technologies. <br /> Vance Zehringer brought up the fact that he was offered the opportunity to speak about Energy <br /> House III and Energy City and wondered if he could go ahead and accept and what if any <br /> reimbursement he was allowed under the current statue for the Commission. Policy will need to <br /> address this circumstance when the Commission is officially functioning. <br /> Al Swintek,CenterPoint Energy suggested involving an interested Sherburne County Commissioner <br /> to participate in the Metropolitan Counties Energy Task Force. Although not technically within the <br /> boundary of the metro area,Sherburne County is directly affected by decision made by the metro <br /> area government. Beneficial relationships could develop among other speculated outcomes. <br /> 7.
