Is a Reach Code right for my city or town?
If your city is:
Seeking to improve energy efficiency and cost savings
Working toward goals for greenhouse gas reduction or carbon neutrality
Acting on a Climate Action Plan
Then a reach code can help you meet your goals. And if you are already interested in pursuing reach codes but are short on staff, outreach capacity, or technical expertise, 3C-REN can help.
Why now?
Reach codes should be adopted by September 2022 to go into effect with the updated California Energy Code.
