The Mexican American Opportunity Foundation (MAOF) is a non-profit, community-based organization serving disadvantaged families in the Los Angeles area. MAOF operates a number of preschools and has participated in the California Preschool Energy Efficiency Program (funded by SCE) to achieve energy savings of over 280,000 kWh annually at 25 of their sites. The energy-saving measures include lighting retrofits, HVAC tune-ups, LED sign installation and occupancy sensors. The improvements are projected to save over $40,000 per year.
