SPUR Commends the City of Oakland for Proposing an Expansive Policy for the Electrification of New Construction

Advocacy Letter

SPUR commends the City of Oakland for proposing an expansive policy for the electrification of new construction. The Proposed Code For All-Electric Construction In Newly Constructed Buildings is a critical step towards broader building decarbonization efforts in the region. The urgency to act on measures towards climate resilience have never been more urgent, as the region experiences the impacts of wildfires and resulting poor air quality, rising temperatures, prolonged drought, and sea level rise.
