On the Road with the Building Energy Efficiency Standards

The Energy Commission Outreach and Education Team is on the road working with utilities, energy consultants and the building industry to promote energy efficiency in the community. We are educating Californians about investing in energy-efficient appliances, making energy-efficient home improvements, and taking energy-efficient actions every day that can save Californians hundreds of dollars.
