Since the inception of its efforts to reduce energy consumption in 2003, the Vandenberg Air Force Base has also become heavily involved with community and employee education. From 2007 to 2008 the number of employees trained specifically in energy awareness rose from 10% to 90%, representing over 200 individuals. Vandenberg also created a website, advertising energy saving information and facilitating an energy suggestion program to connect individuals with energy personnel at the base. Vandenberg continues to involve the community in its energy saving efforts, using facility audits as well as a recent LED implementation project, to demonstrate energy saving success and exchange ideas about the best energy and cost saving methods.
