Wisdom is to the mind what health is to the body.
Francois De La Rochefoucauld

n January of 2008 the City Council approved the addition of

an Energy Manager for the Parks and Recreation Department to coordinate the efforts of the City in the area of energy efficiency. The position is located within the Facilities and Operations Division of the Department. Along with a technically trained team of maintenance staff, engineers, and administrative support the Energy Management team is taking steps to reduce the City’s energy consumption and cost, dependence on fossil fuel, and carbon footprint. The roadmap for Ms. Walker and the Energy Management team is a Strategic Energy Plan presented to Management. With the help of the State Energy Office the plan was created to provide specific program goals. Energy Management staff now report monthly on all City of Raleigh electric accounts and capture data for natural gas accounts. A two to four year history is available for all City of Raleigh utility accounts and is used to benchmark and analyze utility consumption. Staff have also implemented new technologies such as the City’s first solar LED lighting installation at Marsh Creek Maintenance facility, Carolina Pines exterior light emitting diode (LED) installation, installed programmable thermostats in unstaffed neighborhood centers, and made rate reductions that are projected to save the City $30,000 over the next fiscal year. “Buildings represent 39% of U.S. primary energy use and by making building occupants aware of the consumption and cost we are hopeful that we can make even more strides in energy efficiency. I am thankful to work within a Department and City organization that support environmental responsibility while continuing to improve customer service”. Ms. Walker has worked full time with the Department for four years, having advanced from her initial position as Senior Budget Analyst. She was fortunate to gain knowledge of the Parks system for four years throughout college when she served part time in the Recreation Division as a member of the Youth Programs staff. Suzanne earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management and an Energy Management Diploma from North Carolina State University and serves on the City’s LEED Implementation team. She and her husband, Jonathan, are the proud parents of their one year old son, James Gregory.
