Green Stimulus/ Green Jobs

Ramping Up Community Wide - Energy/ Water Retrofits

February 16, 2010    7:00 PM
AIA San Francisco 130 Sutter Street, 6th Floor

As a follow up to ADPSR’s green jobs/ home energy retrofit symposium in 2009, we are looking at California’s massive industry roll out, one year later. With federal stimulus money providing early phase incentives, and the California’s Public Utilities Commission gearing up to meet AB32 emission targets - 13 million existing homes are slated to be retrofitted by 2020. The goal is to reduce energy by 30% to 70% in single and multi-family homes. Bruce Mast and Peter Crabtree will talk about efforts to build capacity in the business and academic communities. Andy Mannle has a broad overview of the entire state effort from AB32 assessment districts to new marketing and lead generation programs. Richard Harris will be speaking to the energy water nexus that makes water retrofits an essential part of this comprehensive statewide effort.

Co-Sponsored by Bay Localize

Panelists:

Bruce Mast, Program Director, Build It Green

Dear Friends (and Organizers) of the Just Metropolis Conference: Click here to open up the Toward a Just Metropolis site

Happy New Year! Over the past six months, many of you have helped us take the first steps towards an amazing conference in June in the Bay Area. Others of you have expressed interest in being part of the effort. Through much hard work, we are now on the cusp of a wonderful event - now comes the hard work of publicizing the conference and getting people to submit workshops. This event will only be as good as the people who attend.

Please take a few moments to send an email to your colleagues, networks, listserves, universities, etc. The call is below, but I encourage you to take a few minutes to write your own message - it will mean a lot more.

The other thing you can do is to promote the website - www.justmetropolis.org - through your blogs, gmail chat, facebook, email lists, etc. 
 
These next six weeks will be critical. Please help make this an amazing event by encouraging people to submit and attend.
 
Best, and thanks,
Alex
