spread across campus into one location, vastly improving our efficiency, interaction and 

responsiveness. All renovations in the proposed project would incorporate green and 

energy efficient technologies. 

ISCA Innovations LLC – to commercialize a new “brushless electric motor” which is used 

in HVAC/R, filtration and related industries that use electric motors to power their 

applications. This new motor can reduce energy cost by more than 25%. 

Louisville Rapid Access Monorail System – The RAM system is an elevated, automated 

people mover, which will provide a quick, convenient, safe and pollution-free alternative 

to conventional forms of transportation. It would serve the combined Medical 

Center/Central Business District, the University of Louisville, UPS’ worldwide 

transshipment terminal, the Park Hill industrial corridor of Louisville, and the combined 

airport/Kentucky Exposition Center area. The RAM system will be run using Novitran 

technology, an innovative transit technology using electric motors, that will outperform 

other types of people moving transportation by its low cost and efficiency. The proposed 

demonstration project is for the Medical Center/Central Business District RAM APM. 

Kentucky Museum of Art & Craft – to add walkway protection and repair leaks on the 

roof, and repair a very old HVAC system. Both problems put valuable pieces of art at risk, 

further endangering an important cultural asset for our community and for the kids who 

are touched through Kentucky Museum of Art & Craft’s community-based educational 

programming and enrichment. 

Traffic light synchronization – Synchronizing traffic lights along major arteries in 

Louisville Metro would help improve efficiency of traffic flow, and reduce pollution 

output from idling cars. 

GreenerWay – for the commercialization of a new energy tracking, control and 

management panel that homeowners and businesses can install to help conserve energy. 

The GreenerWay energy saving panel tells the property owner not only how much 

energy is being used, but exactly where that use is coming from while allowing for 

dynamic and programmable power control. Potential energy saving between 15%-27%. 

Louisville Clean Energy - this project would clean up, stop methane gas leakage and turn 

waste into a renewable energy source, at the Lees Lane landfill. The organic material 

would be converted into a renewable energy source, using a technology that would yield 

zero emissions. The lack of organic material in the landfill would alleviate any methane 

gas byproduct

Energy Management and system upgrades of Actors Theatre, Brown Theatre, Artspace, 

Bingham Norton Building, Walden Theatre School Existing facilities all have 50 – 80 

years old energy inefficient systems which are expensive to operate and often are 

unreliable; replace existing HVAC systems with Green alternatives including the 

utilization of ground water and solar augmentation. 

Americana Community Center – In need of renovation. ACC is requesting funds for 

renovations, including energy-efficient improvements to its facility. They include HVAC 

replacement and related roofing work, and window replacement. 

Metro Parks Vehicles: Hydrogen Fuel Cell Conversion - This project would convert Parks’ 

existing fleet vehicles, of 200 cars, trucks or tractors, of both diesel and gasoline 

engines. Benefits are this conversion would give vehicles 30-50% increased fuel 

efficiency, which reduces emissions, which also means Parks crews can continue working 

on Air Action Alert days. An outcome of cleaner burning engines means less oil changes, 

less filter changes and longer lasting engines which could lengthen the depreciation 

schedule for replacement. Less maintenance also means less man hours spent working 

on the vehicles. Since these engines become more efficient by completely burning all 

fuel it results in about 10% greater horse power. 

Metro Parks LED Light Conversion - Different than solar conversion, Parks will change 

250 existing Parks light fixtures to LED lights. Light coverage will not change, making it 

unnoticeable to park users. City benefits are reduced energy cost by about 60%, and 

longer-lasting bulbs (20 years), which saves man hours as well. 

Louisville Science Center – replace two electrical control panels, with new energy saving 

panels. These were recommended to be replaced in a 2005 study. Renovate 23 

restrooms, with low flow and “green” selections that would result in reduced water 

consumption. These projects could be executed as “demonstration” projects offering 

teachable moments (or workforce training) for Kentucky citizens

First Unitarian Church – Spray foam insulation in the roofline and crawl space of building 

would save energy in the form of natural gas for heating the building and electricity for 

cooling it. Icynene foam insulation would reduce air infiltration as much as 90%.

Energy Efficiency Grant/Loan Program for Non-Profits – This program would be a $1,500,000 EECBG 


Louisville Metro program, dedicated to assisting non-profit organizations conduct an 

energy efficiency audit ($500,000) and a loan pool ($1,000,000) to help make energysaving 

changes to their facilities. 

The Mattingly Center – This non-profit organization’s facility, formerly the Cerebral Palsy 

School, is in need of renovations, which will make the building much more energy 

efficient, and which are becoming necessary due to age of building. Renovation includes: 

Remove asbestos from flooring and replace w/certified renewable material 

Solar pool heating system, and revise current HVAC system 

Create grey water irrigation system for garden and landscaping 

Parallel Products – Construct and operate an on-site Anaerobic Digestion system at its 

Louisville facility, which will enable them to recover and reuse “stillage” materials 

(processed liquids that are not alcohol or water) that now has to be disposed off site. 

This new process would create energy – through anaerobic digestion process of 

degradation of organic materials and subsequent methane gas production – to be used 

by the distillation operation that generates the material, a self-sustaining waste-derived 

fuels facility. 

Family and Children’s Place Relocation: Renovate and add to building at 512 West 

Kentucky Street to house co-located partners: LMPD Crimes Against Children, child 

protective services, and the University of Louisville Forensic Pediatric services. New 

mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire safety systems will be installed; the design will 

implement LEED-like design guidelines 

St. Anthony Community Outreach Center – This valuable service-oriented center is 

located in the Portland neighborhood, and needs 28 new windows and a 93% energy 

efficient HVAC system.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 

Required Created 

New Market Tax Credit Loan Pool – based on the success of the 2006 loan pool for the 

same purpose, this new funding would be used, in conjunction with a match from a 

financial institution, as a loan pool using the New Market tax credit for low interest loans 

to new and expanding businesses.This money would come back to Louisville Metro to be 

reprogrammed, plus interest paid on the loans. 

Green Jobs Revolving Loan Fund – a pool of money to provide as a business incentive to 

local companies wanting to create “green” jobs, processes, or products. 

Winston Industries – This project is the development, design, manufacturing and 

marketing of a “Controlled Vapor Technology” oven for the home. It has nutritional and 

diner enjoyment benefits; uses less energy than a standard oven; and produces less 

waste of family grocery purchases. Because of its lower energy use, it would lessen a 

household’s cost and energy dependence, which would in turn lessen green house gas 

emissions and climate change. 

Riverview Park (restaurant and adventure playground) – Extensive site preparation to 

replace the current playground at Riverview Park has been completed. The replacement 

play area would be finished with this project. Additionally, site preparation for an 

adjacent restaurant would be completed, a much sought amenity in southwest part of 

Louisville Metro. Once a restaurant is located on the site, a positive cash flow of $100,000 

– $140,000, going directly to park maintenance, would be realized. 

Replacement Wharf Office and Galley – Project replaces Belle’s maintenance and office 

facility with a wharf barge that could also house a galley for food preparation with a net 

cash return of $20,000 - $40,000 annually. The maintenance shop and management 

offices for the Belle of Louisville’s operations are housed in the historic former Coast 

Guard Station #10. The Belle’s operations have outgrown the space. The Belle’s current 

operation also includes sizable payments for food service, as food preparation would also 

require more space than that which is available. For years, preservationists have pledged 

support to convert the historic floating station into a museum.
