Dear Residents,

The board are working diligently to reduce our energy and water bills while simultaneously improving our environmental footprint. We are looking for residents willing to participate in an ‘energy audit’ as part of a PG&E rebate initiative (Multifamily Upgrade Program)

With enough participants, our buildings will qualify for PG&E utility rebates (free money) which will be used to fund several energy efficiency upgrades. Proposed upgrades include new high-efficiency water heaters, water conserving fixtures and LED lighting in common areas. This will help reduce our operational costs, curtail future HOA dues increases and improve our environmental footprint.

As part of the initiative, we will be offering free high-efficiency shower heads and low-flow faucet aerators to residents who participate in the energy audit. These can be installed free of charge by our maintenance team, upon request.

To participate in the energy audit, an external consultant (PG&E approved) will need to access your unit on a predefined date to undertake a brief survey. The survey will last about 5 minutes and will involve inspecting fixed lighting, checking the flow rate on existing shower heads and noting the serial number of the refrigerators and dishwashers. If you request free high efficiency showers and faucet aerators to be installed, this will need to be verified by the consultant after install. If you are not present at the time of the survey(s) but still wish to participate, you can authorize our maintenance team to escort the consultant through your unit.

To find out more about the incentive program, you can visit the PG&E Multi-Family Upgrade Program website.

If you would like to participate or to find out more please sign up below or contact the office. We appreciate your help in support of this pursuit to improve our buildings.
