Energy efficiency is
the best investment
an individual can
make to address the
energy and
environmental issues
facing California,
the U.S., even the
world, today. While
we promote renewable
energy and pursue
other sustainable
practices within the
City, the simple
application of
energy efficiency,
both in appliance
purchases and in our
day-to-day behavior,
yields the best
returns on all our
time and money
invested. See list of tips.
For a checklist of
things you can do to
save energy in your
home today, visit
the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy.
A new web-based tool called XeroHome™ (https://my.xerohome.com) is available to Santa Monica single-family homeowners as a

personalized energy upgrade plan to reduce energy use and the carbon footprint of
their homes.
