Water-related electricity use accounts for nearly 20% of all of California’s electricity consumption. Learn about the energy-water connection; the significance of conserving water in relation to energy savings from Charles Gale, Principal Government and Regional Affairs Representative with the Metropolitan Water District.  Local architect, Isabelle Duvivier, will share case studies of water conservation techniques from her own award-winning portfolio of Southern California green homes as well as her designs for several regional organizations who are also working towards this common goal.

Tour (Optional):

Registered participants will be able to attend a self-guided Smart Energy ExperienceTM Tour where John Morton, Program Manager with Southern California Edison, will be able to answer any questions.  The tour is designed to help you learn more about how Smart Grid technologies researched at Southern California Edison are creating a smarter, cleaner, reliable system for delivering energy to our customers.  Please allow 15-30 mins after Guild presentation.
