As of this webinar, the RISE Homes program is still in development and not yet open for participation.
Learn how to achieve a NET-ZERO ($0) savings on your electric bill, acquire Federal, State and Local incentives, and design your home to protect against wildfires and wildfire smoke!
Super Green Homes — 100% electric, Net Zero Energy (NZE) homes supported by Solar Microgrids — are not only sustainable and resilient, but remarkably affordable over the long run.
This webinar introduced the Green Rebuild Initiative (GRI) — a program designed to streamline sustainable and resilient home rebuilding and offer crucial education to property owners, architects and builders.
This webinar explored:
- What it means to build a Super Green home — and why it matters for resilience, sustainability, and long-term cost savings
- Financial incentives that reduce upfront costs and create a risk-free return on investment through lower energy bills, including
- Federal Incentives: IRA
- State Incentives: HEEHRA
- Local Incentives: CPA and RISE
- Technical support available for early participants, including:
- Load analysis to size Solar and Battery Storage Systems
- Economic modeling of Energy Savings and Incentives
- Recommendations for All-Electric Appliances and Equipment
- The latest on Sustainable Design and Construction Techniques
- An overview of Fire Resilient and Smoke Resilient Design Techniques
The GRI is also assembling a network of forward-thinking architects, builders, and collaborators ready to implement these designs in Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and beyond.
Whether you’re actively rebuilding, supporting someone who is, or exploring the future of sustainable design — this webinar provides insight into how we can rebuild better, together.
