In Balance Green Consulting is pleased to announce several free presentations on all-electric homes for community members, home owners and anyone in the building trades wanting an introductory class. The one-hour workshop, presented in conjunction with the Tri-County Regional Energy Network (3C-REN), will be led by an architect and contractor team with experience and expertise in all-electric new construction and renovation; timing will allow for audience questions. The same course will be offered in a variety of formats and times, to provide many opportunities for attendance.
Central Coast Municipalities Leading on Electrification
Three Central Coast Cities are taking the lead in the shift toward clean energy in the region and nation-wide.
In a recent analysis of efforts by thirty small cities across the country to cut energy waste and promote clean energy, San Luis Obispo and Goleta claimed the top two spots.
The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), which conducted the analysis noted that San Luis Obispo achieved the top score, “earning points for its policy incentivizing all-electric equipment and appliances in new buildings and for participating in a program that offers carbon-free electricity to residents.”
Advanced Energy Rebuild Program
Our team recently attended the March 12 regional forum sponsored by 3C-REN focused on Achieving Resilience in Wildfire Areas Through Energy Codes. Speakers addressed a range of topics including a history of fighting California wildfires and the increasing trend toward battery and solar solutions for when a home’s grid connection is severed or paused.
