sures it would have cost approximately
$5,000 more than it did."
Conservation efforts have not ceased with
the beginning of the school year.
"We still haven't turned on the lights in
the parking lots and hallways that were
turned off then," said Hakanson. The night
custodian work schedule alone, has meant
an estimated 6 per cent saving of electricity,
he said.
"Even with increase, in number of build
ings and amount of night and weekened activi
ties, we aren't using any more electricity
than we did in 1972," said Roeder.
Much of this energy saving is directly due
to the efforts of Roeder. When he came to
work at CCC in 1973, he rebuilt the burners
on the central boilers. This meant that one
boiler on low fire could do the same job as
two boilers, one on high and the other on
low.
He also added electric hot water heaters
so that the central heating plant could be
completely shut down for nearly six months
every year and balanced interior and exterior
lighting to meet actual needs.
"I've been interested in this for a long
time, but they didn't used to call it energy
conservation," said Roeder, "It used to be
called money conservation."
