City officials and The Energy Network have created a program that helps residents and property owners make more energy efficient upgrades, officials announced Wednesday.

The city of Santa Clarita is partnering with The Energy Network to launch the Santa Clarita 100 Greener Homes Project, which provides rebates to assist property owners in making energy efficient home upgrades, according to a news release.

Community members can learn more about the program by attending a free informational workshop from 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. on Thur., Mar. 19, 2015 at the Old Town Newhall Library, located at 24500 Main Street, according to a news release.

The meeting will include basic building science, such as the steps to take before adding solar to a home, and information about how homes use and lose energy.

Complimentary refreshments and prizes will be offered, according to a news release. Attendees may RSVP for the workshop here.

Public Agencies:

The Energy Network Public Agency Program will identify energy saving measures and work side-by-side with your staff from design through construction to help you accomplish energy efficiency projects. All services provided by The Energy Network are provided at no cost, however agencies are responsible for all construction costs.

We will help arrange financing and handle the utility rebate incentive process on your behalf. In addition, we will provide access to on-call, high-quality energy retrofit construction professionals through the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA). 

For agencies already participating in a public energy efficiency program The Energy Network can complement existing services so that goals are reached sooner.

Whether your agency is considering a building retrofit or a single measure such as retrofitting streetlights or water systems, The Energy Network can help design and implement the project.  We are your trusted third-party experts.

The Energy Network services are available to the more than 700 public agencies in Southern California (map)
