5 Green Building Initiatives New Construction of LEED Platinum Certified Buildings: Chinle District Office Crownpoint Sub-Office Headquarters Building LEED Building focused on: Energy Efficient Design Radiant Heating Natural Lighting Materials Lighting and Controls Renewable Energy Systems Photovoltaic Solar Farm Solar Water Heating 5

6 Energy Auditing and Weatherization Perform Energy Audits on Navajo Nation and enterprises’ facilities: Office Buildings Employee Housing Implement Weatherization recommendations, such as: Windows Caulking and sealing (air sealing) Insulation Space heating Lighting 6

7 Interconnection- PV NTUA policy which supports customers initiatives (both residential and commercial) to install photovoltaic (PV) and other renewable energy plants to generate energy for their existing facilities and to reduce their energy costs Crownpoint District Office Chinle District Office Dilcon District Office Leupp Schools Kinlichee Fire Dept. St. Michaels Indian School Sanders High School 2- Residential Units 7

8 Off-Grid Residential Power and Refrigeration Program Option for families that are completely off the grid. Majority of PV systems are skid mounted and are deployed efficiently. NTUA currently has 260 installed photovoltaic systems- (2015 data) Currently we are optimistic for an additional 15-20 units this fall. 8

9 Off-Grid Residential Power and Refrigeration Program Past units include 640w PV and 880 PV-wind power systems In 2010, NTUA introduced a new generation of hybrid systems which include a 1,080w PV array and 400w wind turbine with an Energy Star refrigeration solution In 2012, NTUA added 25- 1800W systems to the inventory Utility rate of $75/month or $100/month depending on electric output. 9
