Local governments, states, and the country are increasingly seeking to decarbonize buildings and transportation as they move toward greenhouse gas reduction goals. This toolkit focuses on the beneficial electrification of buildings, which seeks to reduce direct fossil-fueled appliances at the same time the electric grid is decarbonizing with wind, solar, and other cleaner forms of power. The goal of this toolkit is to provide background, information, and resources for communities seeking to move toward beneficial building electrification. It discusses potential barriers that could be encountered on the road to achieving building electrification goals and the strategies available to communities as they consider beneficial building electrification in their community.
