The road map has the backing of the Marin Conservation League, which analyzes county environmental policy, said board member Ken Strong. "We think it's a great step and we will be advocating in the local jurisdictions for this to be adopted," Strong said.
It's "intended to be a shared endeavor," Armanino told the board. "Much like all climate action strategies, a collective action will be required to successfully implement the actions identified in the road map."
Supervisor Katie Rice said the county's aging residential buildings - over 90% of them were built before 2000 - are a challenge to electrifying buildings across the county. But about 17,000 of those buildings, according to the plan, are in the "sweet spot for electrification opportunities," because of their likely aging appliances and systems that will need replacement.
Rice, who called the plan "excellent work," suggested that an annual electrification fair be held to boost awareness and participation. "We need folks to be planning ahead and anticipating replacing appliances," Rice said. "I do think those hands-on fairs really make a difference for folks."
