PROGRAMS

Monitoring-Based Commissioning (MBCx): Most buildings can be "tuned" to operate more efficiently, yielding 5-10% in energy savings with no-cost or low-cost adjustments. This process uses comprehensive built-in measurement and verification equipment, energy-efficiency education and training, and expert identification of cost-effective retrofit opportunities to increase sustainable energy savings.
Energy Efficiency Retrofits: We facilitate application preparation and approval, provide technical services, and offer attractive financial incentives for the installation of qualifying energy-efficient measures.
Energy Assessments: Energy audits and technical services are provided for membership companies, including estimates of projected savings, assistance in completing rebate applications, and referral to qualified vendors and installers.
Training and Education: Quarterly Education Forums and monthly Best Practice Meetings are provided by Sustainable Silicon Valley on various energy-related topics. A great opportunity to network with others in your field, hear from sustainability experts and help your organization take action on climate change.
