The Partnership will focus its efforts on assisting cities to lead by example in reducing energy consumption, achieving cost savings, and planning for energy sustainability. Services offered to SGVCOG cities served by SCE include: ü Enhanced incentives for Energy Efficiency Retrofits
Cities can receive a higher incentive for retrofit projects such as lighting, HVAC, and water pumping upgrades in their municipal facilities through this program. SGVEWP will assist city staff in identifying and developing potential projects that range from simple, low-cost strategies to comprehensive upgrades and retro-commissioning.
Learn more ü Energy Efficiency Audits & Technical Assistance
The partnership program provides for a qualified consultant to conduct comprehensive energy audits and feasibility studies to participating cities. Assistance is available to help select contractors and design professionals, review energy project proposals, and develop and/or review specifications for energy-efficient equipment. The program also provides design consultation, including life-cycle cost analysis, identifying cost-effective energy-saving measures, and developing building simulation models for planned facilities.
Learn More ü Strategic Planning Support
SGVEWP assists participating cities in developing and adopting long-term policies, and the specific supporting actions required, to maximize energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. This is especially critical as cities begin to strategize on how to meet mandates set forth by AB 32 (the recent landmark greenhouse gas emissions reduction legislation), to comply with Title 24, and also to support the California Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan.
Learn More ü Trainings and Workshops
Education is a critical component to achieving energy efficiency. Through workshop and training offerings, SGVEWP will work with energy experts to offer participating San Gabriel Valley cities the best, most relevant information and education to help them achieve the highest levels of energy efficiency possible. Current workshops being planned cover topics ranging from energy efficiency in water projects to identifying funding opportunities for projects.
