These programs involved custom design requirements as well as extensive services ranging from kit production to shipping coordination, order processing, curriculum design, and participant support. Data collection, engaging education, and management are hallmarks of RAP programs. Industry awards support RAP's methods and successes. In 2013, RAP was the only Conservation Services Provider (CSP) honored as one of 12 top programs that save both energy and water by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) and the Alliance for Water Efficiency (AWE). Programs selected for these awards were honored for market penetration, innovative design, and the ability to achieve substantial and sustained water and energy savings. This award was earned on behalf of the Southern California LivingWise® Program, sponsored by energy, gas, and water utilities. Consistently earned, RAP clients received these two 2014 awards: American Public Power Association (APPA) Energy Innovator Award for the Lincoln Electric Systems Energy Detective Program and the National Energy and the Utility Affordability Coalition (NEUAC) Corporate Excellence Award for the PPL Electric Utilities e-PowerWise Program.
