CalBPS Peer Learning Collaborative Welcome Questionnaire
Thank you for your interest in our Collaborative. Together as a regional community, we hope to mobilize efforts to equitably plan for and implement building decarbonization and building performance standards. We have developed this Welcome Questionnaire to obtain more information from interested participants in the Collaborative and to gain a better understanding of where the region is with advancing on building decarbonization efforts. We will leverage this information to help guide our work in launching a Regional Building Resource Hub. All information shared in this questionnaire will be anonymized and a response to all questions is not required.
