EQUITABLE BUILDING DECARBONIZATION PROGRAM (EBD)

About The Program

The Equitable Building Decarbonization Program is overseen by the California Energy Commission and administered by the County of Los Angeles in the Southern California region. The program is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative that puts billions of Cap-and-Invest, formerly known as Cap-and-Trade, dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment, particularly in disadvantaged communities. Partial funding is provided by the Home Efficiency Rebates (HOMES) Program, overseen by the U.S. Department of Energy.

The goals of the Equitable Building Decarbonization Program are to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in homes and advance energy equity. The Direct Install Program provides decarbonization retrofits to low- and moderate-income households. The Statewide Incentive Program incentivizes the increased adoption of low-carbon technologies.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

www.energy.ca.gov/programs-and-topics/programs/equitable-buildingdecarbonization-program/ebd-statewide-direct.

Can I do my own improvements or use my own contractor?

For your safety, all work must be completed by the program’s trained installers.

Can I choose which upgrades I receive?

Yes. Your program advisor will review the EBD recommendations with you and help determine which upgrades are the best fit for your home. You’ll have a say in the final choices, based on what’s compatible with your home and your needs.

How do these upgrades help with reducing energy use?

Air sealing helps prevent heating or AC from leaking out of your home, while new, efficient appliances use less energy to do the same job.

How do these upgrades help the environment?

Along with better efficiency to help you use less energy, switching to electric appliances helps reduce harmful emissions and supports improved indoor air quality.
