RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive report and adopt Resolution No. W-482 declaring the City’s support of energy efficient
building materials and practices.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The San Diego Regional Energy Office (SDREO) was established to implement the policy and
program recommendations of the San Diego Regional Energy Plan adopted by SanDAG in 1994.
SDREO and San Diego Gas 2% Electric (SDG&E) have partnered to work with local government
agencies to develop a Local Government Energy Efficiency Program.
The goal of the program is to assist local governments in the development and adoption of policies
and practices which support and encourage energy efficient design, construction, and purchasing.
Implementation of energy efficient practices result in numerous benefits, including reduced costs,
improvement of the environment, improved air quality, and an overall higher quality of life.
In addition, the SDREO provides technical assistance to City staff in procuring funding from SDG&E
incentive programs. One example of the benefit to the City is a payment for $5,034 from SDG&E for
energy efficient materials used at the new library. SDREO staff have prepared a short presentation
outlining their services for City Council review.
The attached resolution states the City’s support for energy efficient building materials and practices
in the construction of new public, residential, and commercial facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
