Rising Sun Energy Center CYES case study
The three-pronged approach of Rising Sun Energy Center includes educating the public, hiring and training local youth, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Young workers engaged by California Youth Energy Services visit homes in their communities to conduct energy audits and offer simple energy-saving repairs. Arriving in twos, the CYES teenagers measure the household electricity, gas and water consumption and then offer residents help in reducing this usage by switching out incandescent light bulbs for compact fluorescent bulbs, installing water-saving faucet-heads, and offering retractable clotheslines.
