The Sustainability project

 

The City of Santee is executing its strategy to promote energy efficiency and reduce the local government’s reliance on costly business practices.  Cost savings are achieved through energy efficiency, water conservation and use of sustainable workplace practices.

 

The purpose of The Sustainability Project:

 

  1. Comply with legislative mandates to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  2. Save taxpayer money through improved energy and water conservation.
  3. Demonstrate environmental stewardship towards our future and become more sustainable.

 

The project focuses on reducing energy and water use and becoming more environmentally responsible through energy efficient building retrofits, upgrades and workplace practices; infrastructure and community improvements to enhance energy efficiency, conservation and recycling; renewable energy opportunities, such as solar power; sustainable land-use planning practices, such as development of green building codes and design standards; public education and outreach programs to assist residents and businesses in using less energy and water; economic development opportunities to bring “green” jobs to the City of Santee; partnerships, grants and incentive programs to assist the City and its residents, businesses and property owners in obtaining energy rebates and financing opportunities; clean transportation practices to reduce City vehicle carbon emissions; and water conservation practices.

 

As part of this effort, Santee is partnering with CleanTECH San Diego and several other agencies in the Santee region, including Padre Dam Municipal Water District, Santee School District, Grossmont Union High School District, U.C. San Diego, SDG&E and SANDAG.  This ambitious, community-wide effort focuses on maximizing regional energy efficiency and renewable energy opportunities to benefit the region and brand our community as a leader and example.
