January 11, 2010 - Home and Building Energy

AB811 and the promised federal version (Property-assessed Clean Energy) is making a lot of news here. Efficiency first, renewables second. Retrofit, retrofit, retrofit. Whether it's marketed as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to comply with AB32, or, as a way to reduce energy costs and make the community more resilient to future energy uncertainty, the focus is the same. Huge amounts of money are becoming available right now, especially through the federal ARRA stimulus package.
