Energy efficiency resolution

A Community Climate Collaborative staffer shared her own experience with cold, poorly insulated apartments in supporting the energy efficiency resolution.

Another Community Climate Collaborative member thanked council for six months of work on the resolution and highlighted amendments requiring timelines and interdepartmental coordination.

A housing advocate with HOME said energy burdens worsen a displacement crisis in which 67% of renters can't see a long-term future in Richmond.

A resident of a nonprofit-funded apartment building with no under-floor insulation described 40-degree floors in winter and asked council to pass the energy program.
