Marin Energy Management Team

Acting as an energy manager of public sector agencies including local governments, school districts and special districts, MarinEMT leverages and integrates state, utility and private energy-efficiency programs. Service offerings include audits, technical assistance, engineering, assistance in financing and obtaining incentives, specifying and managing projects, energy accounting and reporting, procurement, peer meetings and training workshops.

Small Business Energy Alliance (SBEA)

Small businesses will be provided with energy-efficient direct install services, including free energy surveys, efficient lighting, and air conditioner and refrigeration system tune-ups. Marin County's Green Business Program works with SBEA to help small businesses improve their sustainable practices and become certified as Green Businesses, a valuable marketing tool for businesses.

Building Tune-Up Plus

Energy analysis experts will perform a free evaluation tailored to help business customers who have larger, complex buildings optimize their building's control, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and lighting systems. The program offers customers funding to help cover the cost to recommission their buildings' systems and written guidelines to help facilities managers ensure that the energy savings last. The partnership may be able to assist in the installation process as well.

California Youth Energy Services

Community youth, ages 15 to 21, are trained to provide direct installation services to qualified single and multi-family homes in designated neighborhoods each summer. A variety of free energy-efficient and water-saving measures may be installed, while other energy-efficiency measures that residents can implement on their own may be identified.

Marin Energy Watch, working with residential real estate trade associations and the California Department of Real Estate (DRE), trains qualified agents/brokers and home inpsectors to provide time-of-sale energy checkups for new homeowners.*
