Valley Energy Efficiency Corporation is a 501c(3) non-profit organization dedicated to energy conservation through promotion of the latest technology.

We believe energy efficiency is a message best told at the local level, where neighbor-to-neighbor messages are heard best. And, where much change occurs through the demonstration of leadership. Toward this end, our first major project is the Davis Energy Efficiency Project (DEEP), run by the City of Davis.

Our philosophy is simple - the market barriers to energy efficient techonology are causing un-necessary environmental damage. If everyone used the best available technologies (appliances, heating and air, lighting, manufacturing, pumps, and renewable power), there would be less demand for electricity and gas - even in the face of economic growth.

The increasing demand for electricity and gas causes the utility market to build dams, gas pipelines through wetlands, and a political movement to revisit nuclear power as a "clean" source of power.

Rather than extracting more fossil fuels and degrading sensitive habitats, we believe American society is ready to take advantage of the tremendous advances in comfort-oriented technologies. Along with adopting a conservation-mindset the full deployment of Energy Star and low-impact equipment could have a dramatic affect on the amount of electricity and gas needed.
