We are excited to announce that AEA is a proposed awardee for the administration of the Northern California Regional Administrator role for California Energy Commissions'(CEC) groundbreaking Equitable Building Decarbonization Direct Install Program (EBD)! This pioneering CEC program is the first in the nation to provide comprehensive building decarbonization retrofits through a direct installation model at no cost to participants. The EBD Program aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from existing buildings, advance energy equity, enhance resilience to extreme heat, improve indoor air quality, boost energy affordability, support the electric grid, and increase prevailing wages for the workforce. Additionally, the program supports the state’s goals of installing 6 million heat pumps by 2030, creating 3 million climate-ready and climate-friendly homes by 2030, and 7 million by 2035. The program will rely heavily on a broad network of on-the-ground community-based organizations to engage local communities and enroll participants. AEA has assembled the perfect team of partners to implement this transformative program which includes The Ortiz Group, VEIC, Frontier Energy, Inc. Rising Sun Center for Opportunity, Asian Pacific Environmental Network, Poder SF, GRID Alternatives, and California Housing Partnership.

Energy OutWest hosted a wonderful conference in Austin last week. We’re grateful for the insights, connections, inspiration, and fun. Here’s to turning our knowledge into action! #Weatherization #EOW2024

We're thrilled about AEA's strong showing at the 2024 The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings Conference! AEA staff co-authored seven accepted papers and delivered four presentations on three panels. Summer Study was a great opportunity to exchange ideas with our peers, and we look forward to 2026!

We are so glad you were able to join us. Thank you to Laars Heating Systems for hosting us and Rathe Associates for organizing the event.
