The SANDAG Energy Roadmap Program provides free energy assessments and energy management plans, or “energy roadmaps,” to SANDAG member agencies. Each energy roadmap provides a framework for a local government to reduce energy use in municipal operations and in the community, and can result in economic savings and environmental benefits.
Within the energy roadmap are eight general categories:
1. Saving Energy in City Buildings and Facilities
2. Demonstrating Emerging Energy Technologies
3. Greening the City Vehicle Fleet
4. Developing Employee Knowledge of Energy Efficiency
5. Promoting Commuter Benefits to City Employees
6. Leveraging Planning and Development Authority
7. Marketing Energy Programs to Local Residents and Businesses
8. Supporting Green Jobs and Workforce Training
Upon receiving their energy roadmap, SANDAG will assist municipalities in developing projects and/or programs presented in the eight general categories. Implementing appropriate activities within local communities and government operations will likely result in:
• Reduced government spending on utility bills and gasoline
• Integration of sustainability, energy efficiency, and emission reductions into general plans
• Qualifications to participate in future funding opportunities related to energy efficiency
• Increased investment in community energy efficiency
The Energy Roadmap Program is a collaboration between SANDAG and San Diego Gas & Electric. It is funded primarily by California utility customers under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission. Transportation components of the program are funded by SANDAG.
