Tracking Stimulus Spending and Initiatives for Energy Efficiency Upgrades in California
Written by Nicholaus Harris under Uncategorized

As federal stimulus money is allocated to states for weatherization, and local governments work to promote green job growth, we want to know how everything will shake out. Which homeowners will be eligible for loan programs, rebates, incentives or tax credits for weatherization? How do energy auditors and efficiency contractors tap into the funds to drive projects forward?
It seems everything is happening fast, which is good because the sooner energy efficiency projects happen, the better for everyone. However, we as homeowners and professionals do not want to get left behind. I have mostly been using the following resources to keep up with energy efficiency in California:
California Energy Commission’s recent/upcoming meetings - They are the California agency responsible for allocating funds and shaping state efficiency programs. I will be attending their April 2nd meeting in Oakland.
California Energy Commission Listservs - The “Recovery” list provides great updates on the latest efficiency news.
California Building Performance Contractors Association (CBPCA) Mailing List - Representing professionals, the emails I get from them are informative. They also have a good links section.
If you know of additional resources, please do share, and I’ll update this list.
