Although programs to encourage energy efficiency upgrades to existing buildings have operated for decades, at current rates it will take more than 60 years to complete whole-building retrofits on all commercial buildings—and 500 years to complete on homes and apartments.

New and more aggressive approaches are needed, but what should those look like—and where do you fit in?

Join LABBC’s David Hodgins in conversation with Marta Segura, LA’s “Chief Heat Officer,” and David Jacot, Director of Efficiency Solutions for LADWP, to explore questions like:

How is LA approaching this from a policy perspective?
How is LADWP supporting building electrification?
Where should customers focus today?

Key Takeaways

EBEWE deadlines are active. The deadline for all covered buildings to submit benchmarking reports is June 1, 2023. A/RCx deadlines are Sept. 7, 2023, for buildings with LADBS IDs ending in 0, 1, 2 or 3, and Dec. 1, 2023, for those ending in 4 or 5.
Transition, not a rupture. The City of LA is thoughtfully phasing in new policies as it moves toward a performance standard for existing buildings and wants input from building owners. Connect with CEMO to co-develop solutions to the issues preventing decarbonization.
Pilots to programs. LADWP is developing new incentives to encourage decarbonization and resilience. Real world commercial projects will generate the information LADWP needs—contact LABBC to discuss your plans and get engaged.
