About this Event
The Institute for Energy Efficiency at UC Santa Barbara invites you to attend our 2023 Emerging Technologies Review (ETR) Workshops. This year, the first IEE ETR workshop will be a 1-day online event focusing on "Beyond Efficiency to Electrification in California" on Friday, March 10th.
To confront the climate crisis, California's building sector needs to completely phase out "efficient" natural gas technologies. Instead, we need to electrify every building in the state by 2045. This workshop will bring together leading technology companies with state policymakers and non-profit leaders to debate barriers to electrifying the state's buildings, and discuss the policy and technological roadmaps necessary to meet California's climate goals in the building sector.
