EQUIPMENT LIST

The GETUP program gives local construction workers opportunities to learn about home performance through hands-on training at local homes and classroom education. Thirty-six participants have completed the program with all participants placed in jobs or paid internships.

A typical neighborhood home in Chula Vista has been transformed into extraordinary, efficient, attractive, comfortable, and cost effective! The City of Chula Vista, ConSol, and San Diego Gas & Electric led a project team that retrofitted the house to achieve "deep" energy savings of over 50%, to demonstrate a new “plug & play” solar photovoltaic system, and to provide a local green job training opportunity.

Energy program expands to include entire city

A CCSE lead energy efficiency program that provides cash rebates and special discounts for homeowners who improve their homes’ energy performance is now available to all Chula Vista residents. A meeting explaining the program will be held on Saturday, Jan. 28, from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. at the Loma Verde Recreation Center.

Free improvements for low-to-moderate income residents

CCSE and the City of San Diego have launched a new citywide program that offers funding for low-to-moderate income residents to reduce their energy bills at no cost while improving the comfort, health and safety of their homes. The San Diego Home Energy Upgrade ( SDHEU) program is part of the City of San Diego’s continuing efforts to encourage residents to implement energy efficiency and improve the quality of their homes and neighborhoods.
