The Equitable Building Decarbonization (EBD) 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 goal is simple:
Authentic program: This program is overseen by the California Energy Commission. Learn more at energy.ca.gov.
Trusted installers and contractors: For safety and quality, all work is done by licensed, trained program installers and contractors.
Personal guidance: A program concierge helps decide which upgrades fit your home best.
Increase energy savings: Air sealing keeps heat or cooling inside, and modern electric appliances use less energy.
Cleaner air: New electric appliances reduce pollution and improve indoor air quality.
In Southern California, the program is carried out by a coalition of local partners across Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties. Their role is to make sure residents get clear information, personal support, and access to upgrades.
