Dear Mayor Buol:
On behalf of the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA), we wish to thank the city of
Dubuque for submitting an application for the City Energy Management Program. We recognize
the significant effort expended on the part of your city to prepare an application. Your city was
not selected to be a participant in this program because of the significant progress your city has
already made in improving its overall energy efficiency. We commend your city and its
commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, but the CEMP program is focusing on cities
that have more areas in which to improve for their efficiency.
However, as a result of the demand for the program, IEDA would like to invite your city to
participate in a parallel version of this technical assistance program called CEMP-Lite. While we
will not be able to provide you with a regional energy manager, staff from IEDA will work with
your city and assist you in joining the Iowa Public Building Benchmarking program, developing
a city energy advisory team, and contacting your utilities for an audit.
If you would like to participate in CEMP-Lite or would like to discuss the CEMP review
process, please contact Paritosh Kasotia at paritosh.kasotia@iowa.gov or 515-725-0434.
