2. Work Program <br /> within the Pleasanton community and identify gaps in PG &E's programs, <br /> where the City could complement existing efforts. Their experience will <br /> enable scoping of realistic strategies for implementation that include the <br /> necessary preparation and research. <br /> Example measures related to the strategy of expanding energy services and <br /> standards for existing residential properties include the following: <br /> • Increase coordination with PG &E for focused marketing and outreach <br /> campaigns to educate households about PG &E programs such as the <br /> Energy Partners Program, which provides qualified low- income <br /> customers free weatherization measures and energy- efficient appliances <br /> to reduce gas and electricity usage; <br /> • Identify measures and services not covered under PG &E programs and <br /> include additional energy saving equipment and more comprehensive <br /> home energy audits; <br /> • Identify and disseminate information about third -party delivery channels <br /> for energy efficiency services, such as home performance contractors, <br /> certified energy plan examiners, Home Energy Rating System (HERS) <br /> raters, HVAC quality tune -up service providers, etc.; <br /> • Adopt a Residential Energy Conservation Ordinance (RECO), which <br /> improves the energy and water efficiency of existing homes built under <br /> lower efficiency standards; <br /> • Work with the Building Department to enhance compliance with and <br /> enforcement of Title 24 building codes and standards; <br /> • Develop local codes and standards that go beyond Title 24 building code. <br /> Example measures related to the strategy of expanding energy services and <br /> standards for commercial properties include the following: <br /> • Establish commercial- sector procurement guidelines instructing that all <br /> applicable equipment be ENERGY STAR rated; <br /> • Maximize participation in PG &E rebate progranis; <br /> • Work with the Building Department to enhance compliance and <br /> enforcement of Title 24 building codes and standards; <br /> • Develop local codes and standards that go beyond Title 24 building code. <br /> Renewable Energy Strategies <br /> To develop renewable energy strategies, KEMA will seek to leverage <br /> existing programs and evaluate existing solar feasibility studies completed by <br /> local stakeholders.
