Alachua County Energy Conservation Strategies Commission

 Welcome to the Alachua County Energy Conservation Strategies Commission (ECSC) archive site. This library of resource documents, articles and work-in-progress was accumulated by advisory committee members during the June 2007-November 2008 period, when a report and recommendations were developed for the Alachua County Commission.

The ECSC hopes that the information contained herein generates further community conversation about future challenges and opportunities our community faces, and ways that we, collectively, can thrive during an energy-uncertain world.
