SUBJECT: City Council Meeting Nov 29, 2022
Agenda Item 25: New Building Electrification Ordinance, ID: 2022-01920
Sent via email
Dear Mr. Mayor and Council members,
ECOS supports the proposed New Building Electrification Ordinance and urges the Council to vote for it.
- The first phase of this ordinance (for newly constructed buildings that are three stories or less) will take effect on January 1, 2023, and second phase (for newly constructed buildings that are four stories or more) will take effect on January 1, 2026. - The New Building Electrification Ordinance will be a local amendment to the 2022 California Building Standards Code.
As SMUD moves toward its 2030 zero-carbon goal, electrification of buildings will increasingly help city residents reduce their carbon footprint. We look forward to working with City staff on the development of a building electrification ordinance for existing buildings.
Sincerely yours,
Susan Herre
President of the ECOS Board of Directors
