Building Electrification Public Engagement

The City of Oakland's Sustainability team is working with community partners in an extensive citywide public education campaign about building electrification, popping up at farmer's markets, cultural events, and hosting clinics where residents can get direct access to energy efficiency and electrification resources. As Oakland continues on the bold path of decarbonizing buildings, this page will be updated with upcoming events and workshops as well as materials from past engagements.
