The Energy Show

Electrified Homes Are Simply Better Homes - Special Guest: Jeff Aalfs


Listen Later

Ever wonder how you're supposed to navigate electrified homes, green building, sustainability, and energy efficiency when even the words "climate change" feel like a political landmine? Yeah, same here. Turns out, even poor Kermit the Frog isn't safe anymore.


On this week’s Energy Show we’re diving headfirst into the complicated world of green buildings. The rules from Title 24 and building codes are still in play... but they're harder than ever to follow in today's upside-down political climate. So, what do you do if you still want to build smarter, save money, and future-proof your home without getting tangled in a morass of building code red tape?


To help decode these regulations, we’re joined by green building expert Jeff Aalfs — a true insider who gets both the tech and the politics. With 17 years on the Portola Valley Town Council and leadership experience at Peninsula Clean Energy, Jeff knows exactly where policy meets your wallet. We’ll be covering everything from solar and batteries to heat pumps and EVs. Jeff will also discuss how new policies — and a new energy sheriff in DC -- are shifting the landscape for homeowners, suppliers and builders.


If you've been wondering:

- Why some rebates feel like a scam (hello, costly permits)

- How you can actually save money and electrify your home

- Why electrification feels so different now (hint: tariffs, tariffs, tariffs)

- And what the biggest homeowner mistakes are when trying to go green...


Then you’re going to want to listen all the way through.
