The Energy Conservation Institute Lab in Ventura is simply a great location to hold a training event or seminar. We are within 60 miles of three airports, have lodging options under $100 per night, and being a coastal community we offer a host of activities and dining options. You can enjoy carne asada tacos on the beach from a famous "hole in the wall", or enjoy a nice italian dinner and drinks at one of our quaint downtown restraunts. And although we can sometimes have a marine layer that lasts a good part of the day (we are right on the coastline), most afternoons are sunny and beautiful with average temperatures around 70 degrees.
