Energy use at a glance
The majority of electricity use comes from dry-cleaning machines and reciprocating equipment (such as air compressors, motors and lighting).
A steam trap with a valve stuck half-open for half a year can result in an annual fuel cost of over $4,000.
Dry cleaning machines use a lot of energy, ranging from .5 kW and greater (per machine), and put off a lot of excess heat, which increases the cooling load in a given space.
Tips & strategies to help save
Professional wet cleaning is by far the most energy efficient of the five different cleaning techniques. Switching to wet cleaning could save as much as 75% of the electricity a dry cleaner uses.
Avoid usage of high-energy equipment during on-peak time periods and consider staggered start-up every 15 minutes.
Implement a chilled water loop system to reduce waste heat…
Energy use at a glance
Commercial frozen yogurt machines, also known as soft-serve machines, use a lot of energy. One unit alone may draw 2.5 kilowatts (kW) to 6 kW of electricity, depending on features; number of compressors; cooling system (air-cooled versus water-cooled); and efficiency of the condenser, fan motor and beater motor for blending product in the freezing cylinder.
Frozen yogurt machines emit excess heat ranging from 7,200 British thermal units (Btu) to 12,000 Btu per machine. This in turn increases the cooling load in the surrounding space – and air-conditioning costs for the store…

Types of businesses in this category include tanning salons, tattoo parlors, saunas, steam baths, ear piercing services, hair removal and weaving salons.
Energy use at a glance
The best places to save, while keeping it comfortable for your customers, would be lighting and cooling.
Tips and strategies to help save
54-watt T5 fluorescent lamps work well for high-bay applications, while 27-watt T5s work well for most other uses.
Consider installing motion-activated occupancy sensors in areas that aren’t used by clients or employees; such as bathrooms and utility closets.
Install reflective window film to reduce solar heat gain and help keep cooling costs down. Newer window films are not as dark or iridescent-looking as older window films, so building occupants can see outside on most days.

Privacy Notice
Notice of accessing, collecting, storing, using and disclosing energy usage information
Privacy is a fundamental right of everyone. We’re committed to protecting your information and to doing our part to advocate for information privacy.
Privacy Principles
We consider privacy at the earliest stages of planning new products and services. Privacy by Design (PbD), a concept championed by Ontario’s Information & Privacy Commissioner Anne Cavoukian, presents a set of foundational principles to act as a roadmap to integrate privacy considerations into business models, product development cycles, and new technologies.
We plan to incorporate elements of PbD into our business operations. Initially, PbD principles are being integrated into services such as our online tools which display and analyze customer energy-use data.
Why SDG&E…
Religious/congregational facilities energy usage
Faith-based facilities typically have fewer operating hours and experience large swings in occupancy. Brief the congregation on how to use systems and the importance of turning things off and/or down.
Lighting and cooling represent the most significant electrical loads in congregational buildings.
“Plug loads,” such as amplified musical instruments, audio-visual equipment, and microphones, can consume up to 30% of electricity.

Green Button
The Green Button was created in response to a challenge issued by the White House to give people timely access to their energy data. There are now two easy ways to access your electricity use data so that you can analyze your energy use.
Green Button Download My Data
Green Button Connect My Data allows you to send your energy use data to third party applications (apps). These apps are designed to help you make choices about how much energy you use by providing graphs and tools that can help you find ways to save energy and lower your bill.
Check back often for information about third party apps as they become available.…

Call 811 before you dig
To avoid the hazards – and costs – of damaging underground utilities, contact DigAlert at 811 or digalert.org at least two working days before you dig.
DigAlert will arrange for buried utility-owned lines to be located and marked – free. These include gas pipelines and electric power lines that may be located anywhere – under streets, sidewalks and even your yard.
Protect your safety and avoid costly repairs
Whether you’re planning a do-it-yourself project or hiring a contractor:
Schedule the DigAlert service or make sure your contractor has done so.
Mark out your proposed excavation site with white paint or flags so utilities know where they need to mark.
Use only hand tools to dig within 24 inches of marked utility-owned lines.
Report pipeline damage immediately
If you damage a pipeline, call us right away at 1-800…
High Pressure Gas Pipeline Map
Dark Blue:
Gas Transmission Pipeline: Generally large diameter pipelines that operate at pressures above 200 psi and transport gas from supply points to the gas distribution system.
Light Blue:
High Pressure Gas Distribution Main: Pipelines that operate at pressures above 60 psi and deliver gas in smaller volumes to the medium pressure distribution system.
Accuracy of pipeline locations varies +/- 500 feet.
Information from this website should never be used as a substitute for calling 811 two business days before digging.
