Welcome to the San Luis Obispo Chamber’s green resources area!
As the cultural and commercial hub of the beautiful Central Coast of California, San Luis Obispo (or “SLO” as the locals call it) is a highly desirable place for companies to locate and do business. But we want to ensure that it that the quality of life remains high, and our open spaces and natural resources remain vital.

Cuesta College is opening an Energy Auditing Tool Lending Library and a SLO Home Performance Training Program for local residents and contractors. Cuesta’s energy tool library was funded by the County of San Luis Obispo from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds. The purpose of the tool library is to provide affordable, quality energy tools to contractors and energy professionals to audit and retrofit local homes. The tools can be rented for free until Aug. 31, 2011. After that time, a nominal fee will be charged to offset the ongoing cost of properly maintaining the tools. They are available to rent by professionals that hold a BPI, HERS, RESNET or an equivalent certification, although some tools will be available to homeowners in the future. |

There are a variety of resources out there to help small businesses save energy and money. But many businesses don't know where to start.
Two words: Energy Survey. I always say the first thing to do is get an energy survey of your operations. This is a free service PG&E provides to its business customers. Even if some energy-saving projects have already begun in a company, an energy survey can help businesses put together a game plan. It can be difficult to know where to start for those who don't first understand how their operations use energy.
There are typically quite a few energy-saving opportunities for most businesses that range from no-cost to investment-grade options. |
