Several buildings ranging from fire stations to neighborhood centers to the Kia Center and City Hall have been undergoing renovations to save energy and taxpayer dollars. Many of the retrofits comprised of advanced controls (proudly made in the USA) that allow facility managers to track energy consumption in real-time and to receive notifications when large systems like chillers or condensing units are using an abnormal amount of energy, enabling facility staff to quickly fix problems.
Other measures included replacing air conditioning equipment that was at least twelve years old and initiating LED-replacement programs for the 50,000 residential streetlights in the city.
