Marin County, CA – As part of its sustainability efforts, the County of Marin and its partners are working toward transitioning local buildings to a more energy-efficient future. That means electrification, which leads to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel use.
Marin Climate and Energy Partnership and the County of Marin Sustainability Team (a division of the Community Development Agency) drafted recommended key actions to equitably transition to the electrification of Marin’s buildings. After working in concert with community stakeholders and incorporating community feedback on the actions via a survey conducted in February, the agencies have prepared a Final Draft Marin County Electrification Roadmap.
Actions highlighted in the Roadmap include development of new building codes to encourage electrifying new construction and existing structures, creation of a central hub to assist residents in such projects, and promotion of stakeholder engagement. Community members are welcome to provide feedback on the Final Draft Roadmap via an online survey. The survey will remain open through Sunday, August 25th.
For years, the Marin County of Board of Supervisors has prioritized environmental policies that promote adaptation to climate change and help ensure a sustainability future. The Sustainability Team and its partners have developed programs to promote renewable energy, address climate change, encourage green building, recognize green businesses and implement energy efficiency projects in County schools, special districts and cities and towns.
