Tigard, OR: On Monday, 10/11/10, Crews began working on a long-awaited roof replacement project on the Permit Center at City Hall. Using money from an 2009 Energy Star Grant ($230,500) crews are replacing the existing roof with a new Energy Star compliant roof. The new roof system will have an R-Value of 20.5. It will result in a 13% reduction in energy use (approximately 1,003 therms per year or 20,060 therms over the 20+ life of the new roof.) This is a reduction in green house gas emissions of 5 metric tons of CO2 annually or 100 metric tons of CO2 over the life of the roof.
Crews expect to have the job completed within 2-3 weeks. Most of the noise will be outside the building, with a little bit of dust falling from the inside roof deck. Crews don’t expect this to impact staff or visitors in Tigard, OR City Hall.
