Energized Solutions developed and delivered last summer and fall a series of bilingual water conservation courses for low-income home owners throughout the Central Basin Municipal Water District. Over 150 Spanish Speaking homeowners have attended the water conservation seminars to date and additional seminars are scheduled through Spring 2011. Our bilingual instructors covered a broad range of water related topics, including water sources, water conservation, drought resistant plants, xeriscaping, and easy to operate and maintain water conservation timers. These classes have proven very successful and home owners have reported significant reductions in water usage and associated billings. Contact Energized Solutions to find out more about these and other customized classes.

Southern California Edison’s Energy Efficiency and Solar Division initatied their QUE Awards Competition this summer. QUE stands for “Quality Underlies Efficiency” and SCE launched this program in Summer 2010 to help establish a culture of quality and continuous improvement throughout the Division. Dan Duran (Principal, Energized Solutions), PhD., helped develop the program with the SCE Quality Assurance team and served as one of the keynote presenters at the QUE launch held in mid-August.  The QUE launch was designed to support the ten QUE teams currently participating in the program, all focused on implementing programs to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of diverse energy efficiency programs. Dan helped develop the program and will work with several of the teams over the fall. The QUE program represents a major initiative by SCE to make continuous improvements a cornerstone of SCE’s Energy Efficiency and Solar Division and Energized Solutions is proud to be part of the team to make it happen.
