School Energy Efficiency (SEE) Program

See Program Logo: 3 Overlapping circles with program name around the edge.The School Energy Efficiency (SEE) Program provided a variety of energy education resources and facility improvement services free of charge to school districts located in the counties of Fresno, Kern, Kings, Tulare, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Yolo, El Dorado, and Mariposa. The program components included:

  • Classroom, professional development, and project-based learning activities designed to educate students, teachers, and school officials about energy efficiency.
  • School facility improvement services designed to provide facility operators and administrators with technical assistance, demonstration technology, and operation and maintenance training.
  • Resources and activities that integrate the delivery of education and facility improvement services to promote the concept of the "school site as a teaching tool."

SEE Program services were customized to fit the school districts’ needs, budget, and long-term strategic plans. To make this possible and keep track of services provided to each district, the SEE Program staff developed a district participation plan for each participating school district. These plans served as a record of each district’s involvement in the SEE Program.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) awarded the California State and Consumer Services Agency (SCSA) a $4.5 million grant to implement the SEE Program. Upon approval of the CPUC, this grant program was transferred from SCSA to the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB), which concluded its administration of the SEE Program in December 2004.

In January 2005, D&R International received a follow-up grant from the CPUC to continue SEE Program activities. Information regarding that program can be obtained by contacting:
