St. Tammany Parish has begun an experiment in solar power that already is generating savings. The parish recently installed solar panels on the roof of the pavilion at the Tammany Trace Trailhead at Koop Drive near Mandeville, as well as on the roof of the caretaker's cottage at Camp Salmen Nature Park near Slidell.
Both installations will result in savings to the residents, as the parish will be able to reduce the amount of energy it consumes,Serving Australia with a large range of decorative wallmirrorshop in our Sydney store. said Gina Campo, the parish's director of departments.
Since installing the panels in early November, the parish has reduced carbon dioxide emissions in a way that is equal to planting 1.66 trees and saving 1.45 barrels of oil, Campo said.
The parish began the process of implementing the savings after receiving a grant last year from the U.S. Department of Energy. The goal of the grant is to reduce total energy usage and improve energy efficiency in buildings and transportation, she said.
In addition to providing funding for the solar panels, the grant has allowed the parish to retrofit some of its buildings to further improve energy efficiency, Campo said.
The work to replace heating and air conditioning systems with high-efficiency units and install light sensors in the administration building and in the engineering department, as well as to upgrade the system and controls in the state office building on Koop Drive, has brought the largest savings to date, she said.
The improvements will result in annual electricity savings of $37,000 for the administration building, $32,000 for the state office building, and $2,000 for the engineering department, according to the parish's website.We are porcelaintiles specialists and are passionate about our product - the most durable,Shop and save on blurayburners, Blu-Ray Burner,
Officials also are working to better charge residents on the eastern side of the parish who now pay a flat fee for unlimited water usage. The grant is paying for energy efficient water meters in Alton, the Ben Thomas Road area and Cross Gates subdivision, Campo said.
The plan is to notify residents who will be receiving the meters, and then to show them how much water is being consumed and what their bills would look like, she said. Within a matter of months, those residents then will be required to start paying for their actual water usage, she said.

The idea is that residents won't need to visit the administration building again after filing an application for a permit, Campo said. Rather, people will be able to continue the rest of the process minus any of the paper, and without having to keep driving back and forth, she said.
For example, the parish can send a text once it has completed its inspection of a property to let a resident know that he has passed, Campo said. Then, the resident can set up the next inspection via his smart phone,The Tile Depot is the UK's largest independent floortiles retailer, she said.
