Figure 1, Annual combined natural gas and electricity consumption. 2006 and 2007 display significant savings resulting from first round of energy efficiency measures. Target rates assume a goal of 75% gas and 25% electricity mix given as a typical mix for
a building with this occupancy in this region from the EnergyStar Target Finder Program.

Figure 4, Monthly natural gas usage. Natural gas also experienced a significant reduction in use following implementation of energy efficiency measures. Note however an increase in natural gas usage during the 2007-2008 heating season starting in
November 2007. There also is likely more room for improvement in the summer time gas usage.

Figure 7, Annual natural gas usage. 2006 and 2007 experienced a more than 50% reduction in natural gas usage from the average of 2002 through 2004 usage. The weather adjusted data normalizes the natural gas data for the average number of
heating degree days for 2000 through 2007.

Figure 8, Annual natural gas costs. In 2005, 2006 & 2007 energy efficiency measures saved $93,369 from the peak cost of 2004. These savings were despite the fact that the average annual gas cost per therm increased from $0.93/therm in 2004 to $1.34 in
2007.

Figure 9, Heating Season natural gas usage. Note that the most recent heating season experienced a 40 % increase in weather adjusted gas consumption over the previous year. This finding reverses the trend of declining gas usage since the energy
efficiency measures were implemented in 2005.

Figure 10, Heating season natural gas costs. The 2007-2008 heating season experienced an increase in natural gas costs of $17,750 over the previous year. This is despite the fact that the average cost per therm for gas dropped from $1.54/therm in
2006-2007 to $1.37/therm in 2007-2008. the total cost of the increased gas usage thus is over $24,000.
