Energy Efficiency
Residents and businesses will be able to access programs and expertise that is tailored to our community for making energy efficiency improvements in their homes and buildings.
Los Angeles Regional Collaborative for Climate Action and Sustainability
LARC’s mission is to ensure a sustainable Los Angeles prepared for the impacts of climate change.
Los Angeles County Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE)
(PACE) Program enables homeowners to install energy efficiency, renewable energy and water-saving improvements to their properties without putting any money down! The Los Angeles County PACE Program (http://www.lapace.org/) is a financing system designed to facilitate and fund adoption of energy efficiency, water efficiency, and renewable energy building upgrades. PACE funds up to 100% of the installed cost through low interest loans that are designed to be repaid as a portion of the property owner’s tax bill.
Energy Partnership Program
Administered by the California Energy Commission (CEC), the Energy Partnership Program (http://www.energy.ca.gov/efficiency/partnership/) assists California cities, counties, special districts, public hospitals, and public care facilities in their efforts for energy efficiency projects. This funding helps participants identify the most cost effective energy saving opportunities for new and existing facilities.The Energy Partnership Program can provide technical assistance early in the design phase for new buildings to further exceed the minimum energy savings from Title 24. For existing facilities, applicants can apply for technical assistance in conducting energy audits, reviewing proposals, developing performance specifications, and more.
The Energy Atlas
The Energy Atlas provides detailed information from the building energy sector. ICF International prepared community GHG emissions inventories on behalf of Los Angeles County (LA County) and the Los Angeles Regional Collaborative (LARC) for the year 2010. These enable a city to better understand their full emissions profile beyond the building energy sector. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventories are available for each of the 88 cities and unincorporated regions within LA County.

Local Solar and Renewables
Advanced Energy Community plans will include opportunities to install local solar and renewable energy generation resources in our neighborhoods. Through the new utility billing program, as well, participants will have the ability to procure an increased percentage of energy from renewable sources outside of our communities.
