The City of Ventura has taken a number of steps to cut energy consumption at public facilities. Upgrades include replacement of fluorescent fixtures, upgrading of HVAC systems and installation of motion sensors on outside lights. These measures led to savings of 1,700,000 kWh (22.6%) and over $200,000. Other recent energy efficiency improvements have included LED street lights, daylighting for parking garages and a 180,000 kWh per year solar system.
