Depending on climate and other factors, HVAC equipment consumes roughly 40 to 50 percent of a commercial building’s total energy usage. Air leakage, heating and cooling systems that respond poorly to an ever-changing climate, and old or inefficient HVAC equipment can lead to poor system performance, higher monthly utility bills and can negatively impact the environment.
Commercial refrigeration consumes significant energy in supermarkets, restaurants and convenience stores. Taking advantage of energy-efficient upgrades can reduce costs, keep food fresher, save on manpower and maintenance, and present your products in a more flattering light.

Make the most of Prop 39 dollars
Improve energy efficiency in your public school and you may qualify for California Clean Energy Jobs Act (Prop 39) funding.
A key component of having your Energy Expenditure Plans (EEP) approved is a strong savings-to-investment ratio for the measures in your plan. PG&E offers rebates on key products and targeted incentives for schools. The rebates can decrease the cost of the measures in your plan. PG&E can help you take advantage of the rebates that can bring you closer to the optimal savings-to-investment ratio.
Note: The last date to submit energy expenditure plans and amendments to request additional funds to the California Energy Commission was February 26, 2018.
For more information, email schools@pge.com.
Understand Prop 39 basics
Prop 39 funding can help your school improve energy efficiency.
The California Energy Commission (CEC) posted several recorded training sessions. The Commission also regularly posts information on future events on its website. Visit Proposition 39 Documents - Workshops, Webinars, Documents and Announcements
Providing access to your Prop 39 records
You can access Prop 39 resources only after submitting two forms to the CEC. PG&E requires these forms to provide the CEC with school energy use data from now through 2023:
Send your completed forms to the CEC and to each utility. If you are a PG&E electricity or natural gas customer, please complete the following steps:
Special resources from the State of California related to Prop 39
Stay informed of Prop 39 guidelines and reporting requirements
Prop 39 guidelines are updated periodically. We can help you stay informed of the updates. To understand how the changes may impact you, contact us or call the CEC Prop 39 hotline at 1-855-380-8722. You can also email Prop39@energy.ca.gov.
