** Paul made a motion to forward to the Selectmen for their <br /> approval an addition to SMM.A' s contract in the amount of <br /> $96 , 250 to contract with CCR and their associated vendors <br /> to complete the third phase of technology- consulting . <br /> Peter seconded the motion . All members were in favor 7-0 . <br /> Joel will talk to CCR about the change . <br /> VALUE ADD LIST <br /> Automatic light switches in the classroom: Joel said they have no <br /> objection to recommending the change . <br /> Paul explained the issue , presently there is a "smart" control <br /> panel which is a good system but works best in large sections of <br /> the building , like the auditorium, gym et . There are 3 <br /> classrooms on a circuit (per panel ) . The advantage to the <br /> sensors is you have control over 1 classroom; if there is no one <br /> in the classroom, the lights go out . <br /> He is concerned that the sophistication of the smart panels is <br /> more than that of the typical maintenance person . If you have a <br /> lot of changes , because of changes in school hours and use , they <br /> will probably throw on the over ride and you defeat the purpose <br /> of the energy savings . <br /> Peter said there will be a full time technology person at the <br /> school . <br /> Janice does not envision that person being in charge of the <br /> lights . <br /> Merry Sue agreed , schools often change the way they are used and <br /> the panels would probably= be set for the max and left there . It <br /> would defeat the purpose . <br /> Steve said the HVAC system will also require this level of care <br /> and someone has to do it . <br /> Paul said the HVAC system can be dialed in, and it is done . For <br /> the lights , someone has to go to each control panel and program <br /> it , and it is not that easy. <br /> Steve thinks it is possible to hook them together . <br /> Joel can look into that . <br /> Peter said there will be an electronic security system, who will <br /> be responsible for that? <br /> Paul said the technology coordinator can be responsible for that <br /> but to go to each panel for the lights is a monotonous process , <br /> and it is not simple . <br /> He only thinks the change should be made if the committee thinks <br /> there is value to it . There is no additional cost to delete the <br /> panels and put in sensors . <br /> He is not: sure you will get the energy management out of the <br /> panels . <br /> Jim said they put the sensors in the Yarmouth school and are <br /> adding them to all the other schools that don ' t have them. It is <br /> the simplest system. <br /> 5 <br /> a <br />
