This past November, the EcoBlock team participated in the 2025 Behavior, Energy, and Climate Change (BECC) Conference in Sacramento, CA, spearheading critical conversations on policy innovation and community-driven action informed by years of project-based insight.
On October 1st, EcoBlock’s Dr. Therese Peffer joined KALW’s Clean Air Day panel to discuss how localized approaches to energy efficiency can strengthen climate resilience across California
Dr. Therese Peffer, the principal investigator of EcoBlock, presented the project for the Stanford Building Decarbonization Learning Accelerator (BDLA) program.
With the pilot project nearing completion, the team shared insights on how communities can drive local climate solutions—and what changes might help the next EcoBlock break ground faster.
EcoBlock’s principal investigator shared how the pilot project can serve as a model for neighborhood-scale energy transformation.
Dr. Therese Peffer, the principal investigator of EcoBlock, will present the project as part of Stanford’s Building Decarbonization Learning Accelerator (BDLA) webinar series.
Join leading experts from academia, industry, government, and the non-profit sector to discuss behavioral solutions to climate change. A limited number of scholarships are available for students.
BECC invites changemakers from all communities and backgrounds to share their insights at this year’s event, which is themed “Energizing a Future for All.” Submissions are due April 22.
A recent episode of KQED’s housing and climate podcast, Sold Out, revisited the Oakland EcoBlock pilot project since it was first featured in 2023.
The EcoBlock postdoctoral scholar spoke to Newsweek about the barriers posed by “aging infrastructure, rising new demand, and climate change-fueled natural disasters.”
