DALLAS - Tour Andover Controls (TAC) presented the city of Dallas with an incentive payment of more than $525,000, rewarding the city for reducing electricity demand. The energy reduction is the result of a $9 million performance contract TAC completed for the city that included the design and construction of energy conservation-related projects at six city facilities. The cost of the projects will be repaid with the realized energy savings, which TAC guarantees to exceed $1.2 million annually.
The city earned the incentive payment through participation in TXU Electric Delivery's Commercial and Industrial Retrofit Program. Facilities that received energy-related improvements include Dallas City Hall, the Central Public Library, a city-owned parking garage, a community recreation center, a branch library, and a satellite municipal center.
