Dear Council Members and Mayor,
I’ve been a resident of San Luis Obispo for 25 years and raised my kids here. I am also an
energy/environment specialist at Cal Poly. I’m writing to lend support for any environment and e?iciency
measures you have in front of you. In particular:
I support of Item 7.b Efficient Renovations Policy:
1. Please approve staff’s recommendation and adopt the ENERGY EFFICIENT RENOVATIONS POLICY FOR
MAJOR RESIDENTIAL ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS Ordinance.
2. Please adopt this ordinance as an important step to continue SLO City’s leadership combating the climate
crisis.
3. Please make it clear that the suggested energy efficiency measures are not only cost effective - especially
given the available local, state, and federal incentives - they increase comfort, health, and climate-resilience
when receiving a major addition or alteration.
Thank you for all you are doing. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can lend any additional support.
Pete
