The Energy and Sustainability Division is part of the General Services Department of the County of Sonoma. This division is responsible for planning, evaluating and administering the County-wide Energy Management and Sustainability Program.
Services include:
Join the Energy and Sustainability Division for a free online workshop to learn about seismic strengthening at home so that you are prepared when disaster strikes. In this workshop, we will review common residential construction weaknesses and cover basic to advanced repair techniques that will significantly improve a home’s performance in earthquakes. In addition, we’ll cover the availability of grants and financing to help get projects done.
The next frontier in energy efficiency and home performance is electrification. Appliances that run on all-electric technologies such as heat pumps and induction are cleaner, safer, and higher-performing than their natural gas counterparts. Although these products have been popular in other parts of the world for decades, they are just now becoming widely available in California and there are huge incentives available for early adopters!
