Measurable Outcome(s)

The evaluation and subsequent recommendations from Rummel Design will allow the Cass County Historical Society/Museum to comply with Department of Energy (DOE) regulations which phase out over time the present Museum lighting components so this target was achieved.

The evaluation and subsequent recommendations will allow the Cass County Historical Society/Museum to comply with Museum lighting standards.

Rummel Design recommendations will allow a reduced light level so Museum exhibitions and objects can be preserved rather than degraded by 300 lux maximum lighting so this target is attainable with application and award of second-phase grant.

Pre-application and grant to implement second phase of Cass County Museum lighting upgrade can be submitted in a timely manner based on contractor's final report, specifications, and pictures.

Rummel Design reports shows electricity for lighting costs reduced from $16.43/week to $4.20/week so energy conservation target is attainable with application and award of a second-phase grant.
