MISSION
Our mission is to implement a program that effectively manages our consumption of natural resources and disposal of wastes to enhance the integrity of the environment.
VISION
Our vision is to incorporate "energy efficiency" into the day-to-day operations of Ada County by proactively identifying and implementing methods for conserving natural resources, controlling utility costs, and maintaining building efficiency.
Management and staff work together to accurately measure energy efficiency and develop a phased approach for efficiency implementation. Ada County demonstrates to employees and the community that public buildings are operated in a cost-effective manner, to save resources and maximize tax dollars.
PROGRAM GOAL
The County believes that actions outined in the energy plan are wise investments that will benefit all the citizens of Ada County. The goal of this program is to maintain dynamic plans for identifying cost-effective and economically sustainable energy and resource efficiency priorities for all Ada County facilities. These priorities should meet the needs of County citizens, County Commissioners, Elected Officials, management, maintenance staff, and building occupants.
