SDBEC Webinar: Local Strategies for Building Electrification

In this webinar, we address methods to successfully advocate for and implement local building electrification policies. We cover different approaches: reach codes, land use, and State building codes, and the unique steps, resources needed, and timeline for each process.

Presenters explore statewide efforts on the development of building electrification policies with an emphasis on local engagement topics. We will hear from the City of Carlsbad policy development, discuss impacts on low-income housing, and cover overcoming obstacles and pushbacks. You will gain an understanding of the role of local advocates in advancing this very important region-leading policy.

Speakers:

• Mike Grim, Senior Program Manager/CAP Administrator at City of Carlsbad
• Amy Dryden, Director of Strategic Innovation at Association for Energy Affordability, Inc.
• Doug Kot, Architect, Urban Planner, Building Scientist
