Proposition 39 K12 Statewide Program Best Practices Forum
Purpose:
October 18, 2013, 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM 1516 Ninth Street Sacramento, CA 95814 Hearing Room A/WebEx
The California Energy Commission is conducting a meeting with a number of participants from state agencies, utilities, and K‐12 school representatives to share and discuss best practices in energy efficiency for Proposition 39 program implementation. Participants will include representatives from three other states and possibly the federal Department of Energy. The purpose of this meeting is not to discuss the Energy Commission’s Proposition 39 draft guidelines. Rather, it is about sharing best practices and taking the lessons learned, particularly from other states, to help California schools achieve energy efficiency and cost savings.
