Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2017 18:35:09 -0400 Joe, Ken Schlather gave an update at today's meeting. The numbers have improved by over 20% for heat pumps even since the numbers were prepared for the report! There was a handout in hard copy with the new numbers. ************************* Carol Chock 607.227.0006 [email protected] ************************* On Jun 1, 2017 5:48 PM, "Joseph Wilson" <[email protected]> wrote: Couldn't attend, but Dave Weinstein, Marty Hatch and I pushed back when yet another uninformed local developer came before the Dryden Planning Board announcing his intention to use gas in a new Townhouse development at Turkey Hill and Dryden Road. When Developer explained that heat pumps were vastly more costly than gas furnaces, we briefly described the findings of this Report. To his credit, the Developer expressed interest as well as acknowledging that the word is out that Dryden prefers heat pumps as the HVAC system of choice. David has since sent the Developer the Report. PS: We are handicapped because Dryden, like all local Towns have nothing in their Site Review or local SEQR regulations that mandates even a discussion of highly efficient HVAC systems and/or above-code building envelopes.

The report isn't a short read, but please come anyway! We'll hear highlights verbally. Notice also that we'll also hear Planning Department thoughts on best practices in regulation of renewable energy systems. That doesn't come until later in meeting. Packet page 92, and only two hours are scheduled for the meeting.....(you'll all probably be able to speak at greater length than I will.....) ************************* Carol Chock 607.227.0006 [email protected] ************************* On May 31, 2017 6:05 PM, "Irene Weiser" <[email protected]> wrote: HI AllTOMORROW the County's Planning Development Enviro Quality Committee will be discussing Taitem's recent report on the viability and costs of heat pumps.
