Energy efficiency is the best investment an individual can make to address the energy and environmental issues facing California, the United States, and the world today.

While we promote renewable energy and pursue other sustainable practices within the City, the simple application of energy efficiency in appliance purchases and in our day-to-day behavior yields the best returns on time and money invested.

We all have a tremendous potential in this uncertain era to make permanent strides toward energy efficiency and a cleaner, more eco-friendly community.
