	"description": "Building electrification is a crucial strategy to decarbonize our society. Each presenter will describe how they went about retrofitting their home with electric heating systems and appliances, what kind of problems they had to solve (panel upgrade, finding the right contractor, etc), how much the retrofits cost, and any financing programs used. We will also cover ways to finance the retrofit including PACE loans, utility company rebates, and other incentives. We will discuss the importance of these programs to ensure equitable access to the benefits of building electrification. We will present the no-cost SDBEC technical assistance program for both homeowners and contractors and go through the process of filling out the request form. After the presentation, SDBEC technical assistance volunteers will be available to discuss your individual projects. If you&#x27;d like to submit technical assistance questions ahead of time, you may do so at bit.ly/HelpMeElectrify. Presenter: Tom Abram is an Energy Engineer and Project Developer with Meda Energy Systems/EMCOR where he helps commercial and institutional customers reduce their energy costs and become more sustainable. He is on the Board of Directors for the San Diego Green Building Council and involved in the San Diego Building Electrification Coalition. Tom is also a part time lecturer at San Diego State University. He is passionate about electrification and recently converted his home to be all electric and powered by the sun. Tom&#x27;s credentials include Professional Mechanical Engineer, Certified Energy Manager, LEED AP, and WELL AP.
