Energy Assessments

You'll get no-cost energy assessments to determine your building's energy use patterns. This will allow you to prioritize upgrades that are cost-effective while achieving maximum energy-savings but don’t compromise health and comfort. Plus, only Green Business Network members are eligible to receive a visual facilities audit from a San Diego Green Building Council representative. This audit will help members to control their energy, water and waste impacts.
