Early Stage Pilots

LACI Pilot Collaboration

Energy Services is working alongside Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) across a range of pilot programs focused on energy savings.

Temporary Implementation

Energy Services will pay UCLA customers a partial rebate upfront based on the estimated savings in this time frame. UCLA customer will receive the remaining rebate based on the initial estimates at the end of the implementation period.

How does it work?

  1. Reach out to Energy Services if there is a pilot that you are interested in collaborating with.
  2. A service level agreement (SLA) between LACI, Energy Services, and the UCLA department will be created listing the expected rebate based on the estimated energy savings, the time frame of pilot collaboration, and the time frame of pilot installment (outside of the pilot collaboration time frame).
  3. Energy Services will issue rebate to department after the SLA completion to assist the department with pilot implementation costs.
