WHAT OUR PARTNERS ARE DOING
SoCalREN:
HVAC retrofits can provide a myriad of benefits to public agencies, including improved comfort, conserving energy, reducing emissions, and saving previous public funds that can be put towards other important uses. For example, with SoCalREN’s help Culver City has completed over a dozen energy efficiency projects, including HVAC optimization at their police department and city hall, to save over $140,000 annually! Learn more about successful HVAC and other energy efficiency projects here!
SCE Announcements:
SCE’s HVAC Optimization program takes a look an existing building from rooftop to room through the Energy Efficiency lens. An HVAC system in a commercial building typically accounts for 17‑49% of the building’s total energy use. HVAC Optimization program is designed to increase the energy efficiency of specific areas of the HVAC system, lowering energy use and energy costs. It’s a rare opportunity to lower overhead operating costs while increasing HVAC system reliability and making the building more comfortable. Interested in learning more?

SCG Updates:
Proper Installation, Contractor Selection, and Quality Assurance are the three components that SCG highlights in their Guide for HVAC Systems. Proper installation of a heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system is crucial to having it perform well and operate cost-efficiently. Improper HVAC installation can reduce the efficiency and capacity of your heating system – using more natural gas and making your system work harder than it should.
