San Rafael, CA – Don’t know where to start with home energy efficiency and sustainability improvements? The Marin County Sustainability Team is hosting a series of free public webinars designed to take participants through the whole process.
The “Home Sustainability Webinar Series: The Homeowner Journey” will include online workshops covering home energy audits, energy efficiency and electrification projects, solar and battery storage, and electric vehicles.
Two of the free webinars in September will address home energy audits so residents can assess their home's 'miles per gallon.'Each webinar topic will take place twice, once on a weekend morning and once on a weekday evening, and will feature program and industry experts and professionals. Each session will last about an hour and participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the panelists.
Residents are encouraged to attend for the whole series but are welcome to tune in for the topics that are of most interest. The two sessions listed for each topic will be identical; there’s no need to attend both.
Here are the topics, dates and times, and registration links:
