Improving energy efficiency is a key strategy to reduce

greenhouse gas emissions. Dual-energy design, with natural

gas and electricity working together to meet green building

standards and Title 24 code requirements, is an effective

way to achieve energy efficiency in a new home. Plus, just

one in ten Californians prefers to purchase a home with only

electric appliances, according to a California Building Industry

Association (CBIA) poll.1

SoCalGas® offers rebates now to builders of new single-family

and multi-family homes who equip their projects with qualifying

natural gas appliances and controller devices.
