Video Summary:

Recommendations for the City of San Jose, California, on implementing renewable energy resources in market-rate and affordable multifamily housing developments. The panel focuses on how electric and renewable energy in multi-family housing can unlock positive environmental, health, and social outcomes for the community as well as how to increase the financial viability of such projects. 

Sponsored by the City of San Jose and the Kresge Foundation, the panel provides strategic recommendations on the following:

  1. How the city can incentivize the implementation of renewable energy resources in existing multifamily properties and how these new energy-efficiency projects can be accomplished in a way that accommodates the grid’s capacity
  2. How the city can unlock public and private funding to accelerate the rate of retrofits for energy efficiency, electrification, and renewable energy generation and storage in existing multifamily housing
  3. Which new business models and public-private partnerships the city should consider to generate revenue and catalyze the execution of renewable energy projects
  4. How developers, property owners, and tenants can benefit financially from electrification and energy efficiency strategies
  5. How the city can ensure that low-income residents, especially those living in gas-powered buildings, are not negatively impacted by the shift to all-electric buildings
  6. How the city can address environmental justice, equity, and fair housing goals while promoting electrification and renewable distributed energy resources (DERs)
