Happy METU Monday!
For this weeks METU Monday, we want to share some questions we commonly hear from our partners:
Why should I install LEDs if I get rebates on CFLs?
CFLs are a great cost-saving measure especially when replacing incandescent lamps. However, manufacturers and building codes are increasingly moving toward LED technology. If feasible, implementing LED technology now will save you from potentially having to upgrade again in the near future.
We have upgraded all of the lighting so there's no more savings to be achieved, right?
WRONG! This is a great start. However, did you know the highest utility expense for most local governments is not generated in buildings but in water and waste management infrastructure? This means pump efficiency is crucial.
We can help!
Before starting your energy project, call us! We will ensure you can take advantage of any available opportunities to save money.
What is METU?
METU is our nickname for the Municipal Energy Tune Up Program which helps your local government identify and implement energy efficiency projects. Let's face it, project management can be as difficult as herding cats. Why not lean on us to provide technical assistance to see your projects through from "cradle to grave".
Look out for METU near you!
We are excited to be working with so many of our local government partners. We have begin coordinating projects for the City of Avenal and benchmarking with the City of Arvin and Kern County. Finding solutions for our local government partners is our primary focus.

Happy METU Monday!
Are your municipal utility accounts benchmarked?
If you answered "no", then it is time to take the first step toward saving money!
Why benchmark?
Because you can't manage what you don't measure.
Benchmarking:
We do! Let METU do the legwork for you.
What is METU? This fun acronym stands for Municipal Energy Tune Up. The program helps your local government identify and implement energy efficiency projects. By providing technical assistance and project management from "cradle to grave", local governments no longer must worry about being too short-staffed to save energy, and save money.
METU in Action: We are continuing to steamroll ahead! In addition to working with the cities of Firebaugh and Taft, the METU program has also started a benchmarking and account clean-up project for Kern county. We are also excite to announce that the City of Arvin has taken the first step toward saving money by letting METU benchmark their infrastructure. We are here to help find solutions for our local government partners by finding existing PG&E program that fit their needs or by overseeing the execution of original energy efficiency projects.
We are excited to share our progress and hope the savings bug is contagious!

Because you can't manage what you don't measure.
Benchmarking:
- Consolidates utility billing data
- Tracks changes over time
- Identifies where the money-saving opportunities are

Happy METU Monday!
Although we have been experiencing an abundance of rainfall, if you are native of the central valley you know summer is on its way! So right now is a great time to start thinking about your HVAC cooling systems and ensuring they are functioning efficiently. It is essential to implement cost-saving measures such as economizers and programmable thermostats. It is also important to service your units each season and replace them when necessary. If you are thinking of starting an energy saving project, make sure you contact us first!

By providing technical assistance and project management from “cradle to grave”, local governments no longer must worry about being too short-staffed to save energy, and save money.
METU in Action: We are very excited to announce the City of Firebaugh has completed benchmarking and is in the planning stage for starting some energy efficiency projects. There were promising opportunities identified in their METU Readiness Report for water pumping efficiency and now METU is working with the APEP program which is a PG&E third party program to see those projects through. The City of Taft is poised to get going as well. Once all automated benchmarking services are back up, Taft will be ready to hit the ground running toward energy savings.
