In 2016, the California Energy Commission (CEC) awarded an Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) grant to UCLA to accelerate the deployment of Advanced Energy Communities (AECs). In partnership with the County of Los Angeles, the Southern California Regional Energy Network (SoCalREN), The Energy Coalition, Day One and LACI, the UCLA team has developed an innovative and replicable AEC design around existing buildings in disadvantaged communities.
This AEC workshop will showcase the team’s design, approach, and findings, and highlight the bold innovations that are necessary for California to meet its GHG goals while ensuring that members of disadvantaged communities are not left behind in the inevitable and accelerating transformation of our energy future.
Participants will:
- Learn about the AEC design
- Hear how to replicate the design in your community
- Discover opportunities and challenges for engaging DACs
- Participate in “deeper dive” breakout sessions
