CALIFORNIA PRESCHOOL ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAM (CPEEP)
Assisting center-based child care facilities, serving children birth to five years old
How CPEEP Works for You!
"If your center is eligible, we can set up a free energy assessment, and you will receive a written report with recommendations to increase your site’s energy efficiency. You may also qualify for a free air conditioner tune-up.
If you choose to do the recommended upgrades, we will work with you and, in conjunction with our sub-contractors, manage the process for you. We want to ensure that the project is completed to your satisfaction with minimal disruption to your center.
CPEEP will fund 80% of the project, and you will be billed the remaining 20% after project completion. Most co-pays are recouped through savings in 3 months to 1 year.**
