The City of Benicia has contracted with Ennovationz to provide a one-year City-subsidized pilot program for energy savings plans at approximately 250 Benicia homes. Sign-ups for the first 150 home energy audits and upgrades will be released in 20-30 unit blocks through 2010. Ennovationz is also partnering with Benicia High School’s Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship (SAGE) team to provide water assessments to these homes.
The home energy and water savings assessments will provide residents with a customized in-home energy and water analysis, a report that prioritizes the most cost-effective upgrades, some free instant upgrades, and an outline of larger energy-saving purchases and home improvements. An additional block of 100 home energy assessments will be released in Summer 2010 in tandem with an anticipated AB811 Property Assessed Clean Energy program. More information on that program will be made available in the near future on the City's climate protection portal.
