Committee forwards $150,000 Prospect Silicon Valley grant for net‑zero demo project
Summary
The Department of the Environment requested and received a positive committee recommendation to accept and expend $150,000 from Prospect Silicon Valley toward a larger California Energy Commission partnership to demonstrate net‑zero retrofits at a commercial grocery building.
The Budget & Finance Committee voted to forward to the full Board a resolution authorizing the Department of the Environment to accept and expend roughly $150,000 from Prospect Silicon Valley to support stakeholder engagement and knowledge transfer for a demonstration ("Market 0") project.
Guillermo Rodriguez described the demonstration as part of a larger $2.9 million grant, worked on with the California Energy Commission, Prospect Silicon Valley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The project aims to demonstrate retrofits — advanced solar, battery storage and metering — to convert an existing commercial grocery building toward net‑zero energy performance. Rodriguez said the department will serve as partner and provide resources for outreach and technical work.
There was no public comment. A committee member moved to forward the resolution with a positive recommendation and the motion passed without objection.
Next steps: the item will be placed on the Board agenda for final action.
