SUMMARY:From Gas to Grid - The Benefits of Home Electrification
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 6\, 2025 | 6:00 – 8:30 pm\nLake Theater & Cafe\, Lake Oswego \nTickets are $10 and seating is limited. Please arrive at 5:30 pm to order food and drinks. The program will start at 6:15 pm \n  Purchase Tickets   \nOn November 6th from 6:00–8:30pm at the Lake Theater & Café\, the Lake Oswego Sustainability Network (LOSN) will host From Gas to Grid: The Benefits of Electrification. Brian Stewart\, co-founder of Electrify Now will speak about the role of electrification for a cleaner\, more sustainable home and future. \nAfter 25 years with Nike Inc\, as VP of Sustainable Innovation\, Stewart retired in 2018 and co-founded Electrify Now which focuses on accelerating the transition to a clean energy economy in order to avoid the worst effects of climate change. His webinars on practical approaches to home electrification draw thousands of viewers every month. \nStewart will talk about these approaches but also the big picture—the importance and challenges of moving our grid off fossil fuels. Renewable energy and electrification are transforming markets worldwide. Countries like China and those across Europe have already taken significant steps to advance their competitiveness in this fast growing industry. If the U.S. wants to keep pace\, widespread adoption of electrification is essential. \nElectrification offers families healthier\, safer\, and often more cost-effective solutions for heating\, cooling\, cooking\, landscaping and transportation. What’s remarkable is that while strong public policy in Oregon helps create the conditions for change\, the real momentum comes from millions of individual decisions. Each homeowner who chooses a heat pump\, an induction stove\, battery landscaping equipment or an electric vehicle contributes to a larger movement that makes Oregon stronger\, healthier and more competitive. \nFrom Gas to Grid will explain the benefits of electrification and provide practical guidance for households ready to take the next step. With ample time for audience Q&A\, this event is designed to inspire action and help community members see how their choices connect to the national and global energy transformation already underway. \nAttendees will be introduced to the LOSN/Electrify Oregon coaching program where they can receive individualized\, personalized coaching for electrifying their homes and vehicles. In addition\, the Electrify Now website is the go-to source of up-to-date information on economical ways to move homes off fossil fuels and onto our increasingly clean and renewable electricity. Join us as we explore why electrification isn’t just the future — it’s the smarter\, stronger\, and more sustainable choice for today. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Home Energy Audits
DESCRIPTION:If you’re interested in energy efficiency or thinking about going electric\, a home energy audit is a smart and inexpensive way to start your journey. Before you take the leap and replace a major system like your HVAC\, it can be incredibly helpful to have the full picture of your home’s energy use\, comfort\, and safety. Through a series of inspections and diagnostic tests\, you’ll learn whether your home needs insulation\, weathersealing or duct maintenance\, which appliances are most in need of replacement and any problem areas and fixes you should prioritize to save energy and improve the comfort of your home. \nA typical audit focuses on your home’s envelope\, your HVAC systems\, and your major appliances. At the end of the evaluation\, your energy auditor can tell you how efficient your home is and recommend which projects will be the best investments for energy savings and increased comfort. It also results in holistic recommendations that are specific to your home\, and take your home’s entire ecosystem into account. \nJoin us on September 11 as we take a look at home energy audits and discuss: \n\nWhy get a home energy audit?\nWhat does an energy audit include\, and how long does it take?\nAre there different types of audits\, and how does one choose?\nWhat you’ll get from a home energy audit\nHow to find a certified energy auditor near you\nHow much does a home energy audit cost?\n\nJoin us to learn how an energy audit can best prepare you to lower your energy bills\, phase out fossil fuels\, cut your home’s carbon emissions\, improve your home’s indoor air quality\, and make your home more comfortable year-round. \nThis webinar is part of the Electrify Now “Go Electric!” series developed in partnership with LEARN. Find more Go Electric! webinars with information and tips on other important electrification topics here. \nExplore free courses on energy efficiency and electrification with The LEARN Program. LEARN’s interactive learning hub covers topics like building design & construction\, HVAC and hot water systems\, renewable energy\, and more as well resources to help you electrify your own home.

SUMMARY:Whole Home Batteries: Costs\, Benefits and Payback
DESCRIPTION:Learn how batteries can save you money\, and get your battery before the 30% tax credit ends this year. \nJoin us for a webinar tailored for homeowners exploring whether to invest in home batteries for resilience and financial payback. We’ll break down the two key benefits of battery storage—back up power during outages and long-term financial savings. \nAs utility policies shift and net metering credits decrease in some areas\, whole home batteries can offer more control over energy costs: homeowners can decide when to use or sell their solar power to take advantage of time of use utility rates. This webinar will explore the idea of a battery as an insurance policy for solar investments\, as tax credits begin to sunset and rules around compensation continue to evolve. \nIn this session\, we’ll walk through basic battery sizing\, explain what “payback period” really means\, and help attendees understand how utility rate plans\, durability\, warranties\, and battery cycles impact long-term returns. \nWhether you’re considering battery storage to reduce electricity costs\, or just want to weather the next storm with confidence\, attendees will leave with clear\, actionable insights. We’ll include easy-to-understand animations\, real-life examples\, and a look at potential costs and savings—so you can decide if now is the right time to add a battery to your home. \nWe’ll cover the following topics and more: \n\nWhole home battery benefits\nHow to calculate battery sizing\nHow batteries can take advantage of “time of use” electricity rates\nHow to estimate costs and savings\n\nHosts and Panelists: \nBrian Stewart – Brian co-founded Electrify Now to help energy consumers and homeowners learn about the benefits of electrification. He has over 40 years of experience in product design\, engineering\, manufacturing and sustainability and held many leadership roles at Nike Inc. including Vice President of Sustainable Innovation. \nJoe Wachunas – In addition to his work for Electrify Now\, Joe is a Program Manager for the New Buildings Institute\, managing the Advanced Water Heating Initiative.

SUMMARY:Community Solar - The Best Kept Secret in Renewable Energy
DESCRIPTION:Community Solar is a great way to get the benefits of rooftop solar without the upfront investment. Where it’s available\, anyone with an electric bill can sign up—if you rent your home\, or have a shaded roof\, you can subscribe to a local solar farm and get 100% clean energy just like rooftop solar. By subscribing to these programs\, your utility is obligated to purchase energy on your behalf from small scale solar farms in your area. \nSubscribers experience a range of benefits\, including guaranteed renewable energy\, a discount on your energy bill\, and easy sign up and cancellation. Low-income subscribers can get an even larger discount on their bill. By connecting individuals\, businesses\, organizations\, communities and developers to solar energy\, community solar provides support to develop solar projects and expand access to clean energy to more communities across the country. \nJoin us on July 17th as we take a look at community solar and discuss the following:\nWhere is community solar available?\nHow does community solar work?\nWhat are the benefits of signing up for program?\nWhat are the benefits for low income subscribers?\nHow do I sign up?\nWhat happens if I move? \nThis webinar is part of the Electrify Now “Go Electric!” series developed in partnership with LEARN.
