1. Energy Assessment
A contractor will conduct an energy assessment for your center. Then, you will receive an energy recommendation report from CPEEP that shows your center’s potential energy and cost savings.**
2. Installation
Once you approve the recommended upgrades, the
contractor will upgrade your facility. CPEEP will work with you and
the contractor to ensure that the project is completed to your
satisfaction with minimal disruption to your center. Technology and Equipment Covered
The program will replace older, energy-intensive equipment
with more efficient alternatives. A few examples include: 3. Follow Up CPEEP will follow up after the installation to ensure your
center is satisfied with the upgrades. A representative from your
utility company may also follow up to perform an inspection. CPEEP is available to
answer questions and assist with problems at any point in the process. These simple, downloadable educational materials teach basic energy
efficiency skills and provide knowledge to preschool students and
their families in both English and Spanish. LIIF appreciates the assistance of the California Head Start Association and
its colleagues from the field for developing these educational materials.
* CPEEP is a short-term project of two years with
limited funds. Funds are available on first-come, first-served basis
until funding runs out. In case of a waiting list, priority will be
given to centers serving low income children and/or with facilities
that are more than 25 years old, centers with the most potential for
energy saving, and/or larger centers serving 75 children or more.
This program may be modified or terminated without notice.
