CSE helps the Port of San Diego and tenants participating in its Green Business Network to improve energy efficiency and meet the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals established in the port’s climate action plan.
CSE's role in supporting port initiatives includes assisting in the prioritization and execution of energy-efficient retrofits on port-owned facilities and providing tenants with resources to identify energy-saving opportunities and promote their sustainable achievements.
Port of San Diego – Energy Efficiency Activities Impacts

CSE conducts educational workshops for port tenants and employees on sustainable energy technologies and how to use ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager® software to comply with the port's utility usage reporting ordinance.
