Energy Saving Opportunities In San Franciso
In another example of how governments and local municipalities promote energy saving San Francisco's Mayor Gavin Newsom has announced that the city will invest $19.2 million to make the city more energy efficient, creating up to 22 new jobs and generating $3 million in energy savings every year.
About $11.5 million of the funds will be distributed via San Francisco’s Energy Watch program — a project working on the installation of more energy efficient lighting controls and HVAC systems controls.
This news is of interest to Enigin Distributors, with LESS and ACES the ideal products to fulfill the needs of local businesses to control lighting and air conditioning.
The money will be used to subsidise other new equipment purchases for small to mid-size businesses, allowing them to upgrade their equipment without taking out loans. The remaining $7.7 million will be used to modernize and retrofit municipal buildings like jails, hospitals and museums.
This isn’t the first time San Francisco has made a major push for energy efficiency. Already, more than 2,000 businesses and residential buildings have been updated with greener equipment and structural changes.
Since 2001, conservation initiatives have reduced the city’s energy consumption by 29 megawatts — enough to power 29,000 households. The Newsom administration is expecting further savings of 6 megawatts after the state money is put to use.
The Energy Watch program is funded by the Public Goods Charge, a monthly fee business owners pay to the California Public Utilities Commission.
Another example of the opportunities that exist for Enigin Distributors to be able to meet the needs sponsored by local authorities.
