"The All-Electric Multifamily Program is very needed! A team of amazing and highly skilled professionals assessed our properties in terms of electrification feasibility and needs. And they did it in detail! Now we know what it will take to electrify the buildings. The assessment was provided to us at no cost, which is not a minor matter for affordable housing these days." 

- Magda Szymanska, Associate Director of Sustainability, TNDC

We understand that fully electrifying a building can be tricky, and every building needs its own plan. This program’s goal is to help participants learn how to electrify their buildings from beginning to end. For additional information about the program, see the All-Electric Multifamily Program Handbook.
