Community outreach for energy efficiency programs
As part of our energy efficiency program, we actively partner with community-based organizations (CBOs) to engage small businesses and deliver impactful, locally tailored solutions. These trusted organizations help us build strong relationships within the community, identify meaningful energy-saving opportunities, and co-develop strategies that reduce costs and improve performance. By combining technical expertise with grassroots outreach, we make energy efficiency accessible, affordable and aligned with the unique needs of small business owners. This ultimately strengthens both local economies and environmental sustainability.
Energy efficiency commissioning for small businesses
Energy efficiency commissioning offers small businesses a practical and cost-effective way to optimize their building systems and reduce energy waste. By assessing and fine-tuning equipment such as HVAC, lighting and controls, commissioning ensures systems are operating as intended and delivering peak performance. For small businesses, this means lower utility bills, improved comfort for employees and customers, and fewer maintenance issues. Whether through retro-commissioning existing systems or integrating efficiency into new upgrades, our approach helps small businesses unlock long-term savings and contribute to a more sustainable community.
Energy systems maintenance for small businesses
Regular energy systems maintenance is essential for small businesses looking to sustain efficiency, lower operational costs, and extend the life of their equipment. By proactively servicing systems like HVAC, lighting and refrigeration, businesses can prevent energy waste, avoid costly breakdowns, and ensure optimal performance year-round. Our maintenance solutions are designed to be affordable and minimally disruptive, helping small businesses stay focused on their operations while maintaining a comfortable and efficient environment.
Energy as a Service (EaaS) for small businesses
Energy as a Service (EaaS) offers small businesses a flexible, low-risk way to access energy-efficient technologies without the upfront capital investment. Subscription-based models let businesses benefit from upgraded systems – such as lighting, HVAC and solar – while outsourcing energy management to trusted providers. This approach reduces energy costs and improves sustainability, so small businesses can focus on growth while still contributing to a more resilient energy future.
Energy-efficient Community Pool Pump Pilot
Our Community Pool Pump Pilot program offers utilities a targeted way to support community centers in income-qualified areas by upgrading public pool systems with energy-efficient technologies. By replacing outdated pumps with high-efficiency models, the program reduces energy consumption, lowers operating costs, and improves overall system performance. These upgrades not only enhance the sustainability of vital community spaces but also help small businesses and local organizations reinvest savings into services that benefit the broader community.
