Notes: For programmable thermostats in community buildings we work with local maintenance staff. Our
goal is to set thermostats to a night-time and weekend set-back of 62 - 64 degrees and a daytime temp of
68-70 degrees. Programmable thermostats used and maintained as programmed are known to achieve
an overall fuel savings of between 5 and 10% over non-programmed thermostats.

Bethel Boiler Trainings at Yuut Elitnaurviat Learning Center, October 7-8 & 15-16, 2008
ABSN Master Boiler Technician Charlie Deer presents at Bethel area boiler
training -Yuut Elitnaurviat, the Learning Center Shop in Bethel, October, 2008.
Training on oil burner combustion
efficiency and maintenance.
The Native Village of Lower Kalskag maintenance staff Micky Nicolai traveled to Bethel October 7 and 8,
2008 to participate in this training. ABSN partnered with Association of Village Council Presidents
Housing Authority and YKHC’s Yuut Elitnaurviat Learning Center to provide ABSN’s 16 -hour boiler
training course to 4 rural maintenance staff from ’07-’08 villages covered under this VEUEEM grant.
Additionally 11 AVCP Housing maintenance staff from Bethel and surrounding western villages attended
this training. Charlie Deer’s training hours were covered by matching funds from ABSN. AEA VEUEEM
grant funds were used to cover training coordination, air fare, meals and lodging in Bethel for VEUEEM
grant village maintenance staff.

During this 16-hour course ABSN’s boiler specialist C harlie Deer instructed maintenance staff in the
fundamentals of boiler and fuel energy efficiency. Training topics covered: fuel, proper heating system
sizing, testing boiler efficiency with a flu gas analyzer kit, cleaning and tuning boilers for energy
efficiency, control options and proper control function, burner and nozzle components and function,
outdoor temperature boiler controls, programmable thermostats, etc.
