REACH offers a wide variety of free, energy conservation and sustainability workshops that are tailored to meet the needs of every audience. REACH workshops are designed to be interactive and engaging rather than in a lecture format. Audiences are invited to participate in conversations about energy conservation and share knowledge in a structured and focused forum. Together, we can understand our behaviors and our needs so we can learn how to fit energy efficiency and sustainability within the context of our lives. To inquire about hosting a workshop in your community, please contact REACH
Below is a list of communities REACH has developed workshops for:
Schools: When related to simple concepts like food and sharing, lower grades learn about electricity, how it is made, why it is important, and why it is important to conserve. Upper grades learn details of understanding a utility bill and performing energy audits in their home. All San Francisco Bay Area school workshops incorporate games that are fun and get students engaged.
Homeowners: Buying and owning a home in the San Francisco Bay Area can be a good long term investment, but by reducing monthly energy costs, the return on investment can drastically improve. Homeowners learn about energy efficient technology on the market they can take advantage of, rebates and incentives available and behaviors they can adopt to reduce their energy consumption.
Businesses: All San Francisco Bay Area businesses are conscious of their bottom line. REACH focuses on ways businesses can leverage energy efficient technology and behavior to pad their bottom line. REACH has also partnered with the California Green Business Program to showcase ways to leverage becoming a green business and increase customers.
Building Managers: Because of safety codes, San Francisco Bay Area buildings are required to use 24 hour lighting in communal spaces. This can add considerable costs to the operation of a building. Heating and cooling a building can be quite expensive too. REACH discusses technology that buildings can invest in to reduce operating and maintenance costs of a building. Rebates are discussed which make the up-front costs of these investments more reasonable and add value to buildings and tenant spaces.
Other: If you are looking to host a workshop for a community not mentioned above, contact REACH and we can discuss developing a workshop specific to your needs.
