I had the opportunity to collaborate with a powerhouse team of local government professionals to tackle a real-world challenge: how to approach setting up a Building Decarbonization Revolving Loan Fund for cities across Contra Costa County.
The result? A comprehensive guidebook on establishing Building Decarbonization Revolving Loan Funds (BDRLFs)—a tool designed to help municipalities reduce greenhouse gas emissions, cut operational costs, and reinvest savings into future sustainability projects.
💡 The guidebook walks through:
- Why BDRLFs make sense for local governments
- How to structure and fund them sustainably
- Practical case studies and sample governance models
A “choose your own adventure” style step-by-step implementation for municipalities of all sizes
