San Francisco Energy Watch has assisted a wide spectrum of industries, including restaurants, schools, retail stores, offices, residential properties, hotels, and more. The primary purpose of this program is to reduce energy use in San Francisco in keeping with the city's long-range plans to make San Francisco more environmentally sustainable.
"We are so very pleased with our newly installed light fixtures! We plan on using SF Energy Watch to provide site assessments and guidance for all of our San Francisco YMCA branches towards YMCA's efforts to become Green Business Certified."
- Louise Figlia, Facilities Executive Assistant
Since 1997, Presidio YMCA has been providing comprehensive programs and services to meet the diverse needs of the Bay Area. It offers after-school and outreach programs to youth in nine of San Francisco 's public schools, as well as a fitness facility and an aquatic center for the community. The Presidio YMCA seeks to fulfill its mission to build strong kids, families, and communities by enriching the lives of all people in spirit, mind and body.
The Presidio YMCA retrofitted interior T8s in the basement, installed exit signs, and upgraded custom induction lighting in the pool area. Within a couple of months after the upgrades were completed, there was a reduction of about 20% in energy cost.
The Presidio YMCA took advantage of the free resources that the San Francisco Energy Watch program offers. The detailed proposal generated by the San Francisco Energy Watch specialist quantified the cost savings of energy efficiency, which prompted the Presidio YMCA to pursue additional environmental operating principles.
