This project replaced the four original air handling units on the roof of the Administration and Courts Building. These units had reached the end of their useful life. They were replaced with more energy efficient equipment. Facilities Management received a rebate from Xcel Energy for the installation of more efficient equipment.
A comprehensive assessment is underway to identify remaining life and overall condition of the building and its systems. This information will be utilized to plan and budget for future repairs and replacements.

The county has implemented several measures to recycle resources and to reduce water use:
