The Airport Terminal Building and the Car Rental Quick Turn Around (QTA) Car Wash Facility both utilize an Alerton Energy Management System to manage/optimize the buildings' mechanical and electrical systems, and to enhance the safety, energy efficiency, and sustainability of these facilities.  The Energy Management System is connected to and controls or monitors the steam and hot water boilers, A/C chillers, cooling towers, heat pumps, heat recovery systems, air handlers, radiant heaters, VAV units, fan coils, thermostats, pumps and motors for circulatory systems, and the lighting controls.  It was calculated that this system provides the Airport with approximately $12,000 to $13,000 of energy efficiency savings annually.  There is also a labor savings component by not needing to have personnel manually check all of the systems daily that are now hooked up and automatically monitored.

This service agreement will provide annual service and maintenance programs for the Alterton software, including upgrades of the system's software and hardware to current revisions, seasonal inspections/maintenance, and continuing help to optimize the automated operation of the control programs. The Alterton systems are proprietary and require that software updates and maintenance be provided by ATS Inland NW, LLC.  This five-year Service Agreement will begin in July 2016 and end on June 30, 2021.

	ANNUAL AMOUNT	FIVE-YEAR TOTAL
Terminal Building	$8,580	$42,900
QTA Car Wash	$2,444	$12,220
