Lammers Honored as Energy Manager of the Year
December 19, 2008
Columbia River PUD Energy Services Supervisor Tim Lammers has been chosen as the 2008 Energy Manager of the Year for Electric Utilities by the Oregon Association of Professional Energy Managers (APEM).
Lammers was selected in recognition of his work with Scappoose School District. He oversaw a three year project to install PCB-free, energy-efficient lighting Otto H. Petersen Elementary, Scappoose Middle School and the high school gymnasium that improved light output and reduced lighting costs by $12,500 a year. Although the total project cost was $204,246, after PUD rebates and state tax credits, the district paid just $21,000 for the improvements.
In his 10 years with the PUD, Lammers has worked with Scappoose, St. Helens and Rainier School Districts on energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
"We are very fortunate to have someone of Tim's talents and commitment to our customers here at the PUD," said General Manager Kevin Owens.
Oregon APEM is a membership based organization in Oregon and SW Washington representing private companies, utilities, federal, state and local government, school districts, hospitals, universities, engineering, consulting, architecture firms and other energy management professionals.
