Up to 27 Fellows will be supporting up to 27 public agencies across the Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino Counties in Southern California). Fellows will be serving to support and fill organizational capacity needs in the area of Energy Efficiency, project identification, and energy building identification and benchmarking, climate/energy action planning, outreach of workforce, education & training into the communities, and other sustainability initiatives. Historically the cities in the subregion have lacked the capacity to track, monitor, implement and comply with various energy and environmental statewide goals and requirements.

Service Needs & Plans
· CIP Energy Efficient Projects (Review and Admin assistance)
· CIP Water Reduction Projects (Review and Admin assistance)
· Facility Audits
· Bill Rate Analysis for City Facilities
The City of Norco currently has several LED lighting upgrade projects listed in the 5-year CIP. Some of these projects will be ready for construction in June/July of 2023.
The Citywide SMART controller project is a water conservation project that will change out all controllers in parks, public facilities, and LMDs. We will need help with some administrative tasks in applying for water rebates.
The fellow would also need to review the CIP to see if we are maximizing energy efficiency with our planned projects and any other items that we can incorporate into the projects that would reduce energy consumption.
A bill rate analysis along with a facility audit would greatly help identify future projects that can be added to the CIP to help reduce energy and water consumption.
