Two new and helpful publications from the folks at Green For All and the Center on Wisconsin Strategy have just been released.
A Short Guide to Setting Up a City-Scale Retrofit Program provides a model for designing and implementing energy efficiency retrofitting programs on a citywide scale, with a goal of making these retrofits available to more households and providing good, entry-level jobs with career pathways that are accessible to low-income communities and communities of color.
Energy efficiency retrofits of our homes, schools, and workplaces are the first steps to building an inclusive clean energy economy by addressing climate change, putting people in careers, and reducing working families’ energy bills. This guide is a tool for local organizations, business leaders, entrepreneurs, elected officials, and others in cities to use to promote energy efficiency in their communities.
Green for All also produced a helpful pamphlet, Understanding the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program, to help advocates influence equitable and successful implementation of the EECBG program.
