Thursday, August 7 @ 6 pm

City Hall (Community Room)

In-person and virtual<https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84130420742&gt;



COMMUNITY SURVEY AVAILABLE NOW<https://publicinput.com/t47742#tab-66808&gt;!!



The City would like your input on building reach codes from the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP). In August 2024, the City adopted its inaugural Climate Action and Adaptation (CAAP), a greenprint to achieve zero carbon emissions by the year 2045. A reach code is a local ordinance which adds additional requirements to the state’s building code in order to address issues such as greenhouse gas emissions reduction, energy efficiency, air quality, public health, safety, and more. For example, a potential requirement may include installing electrification measures such as a heat pump space conditioning system when replacing or adding a central air conditioner, with the option still available to keep a gas furnace provided other efficiency measures are installed. Visit the project website<https://www.pinole.gov/sustainability/caap-reach-codes/&gt; to learn more about the policies under consideration and ways to participate and provide feedback during their development. Thanks in advance!” (city email)
