Oak Park neighbor-to-neighbor
climate coaching
Oak Parkers interested in making their homes and properties more climate friendly are invited to access resources and technical support provided by fellow community members at www.opcan.org. Oak Park’s neighborhood climate coaching initiative is a partnership between the Village and the volunteer group Oak Park Climate Action Network (OPCAN) that offers a peer-expert advisory service to help residents navigate various pathways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including home insulation and energy retrofits, heat pumps, rooftop and community solar, geothermal systems and electric vehicle (EV) adoption. Community members can access individualized neighbor-to-neighbor climate coaching provided by residents with expertise and experience in a range of climate solutions. The website also includes links to relevant financial incentives, all intended to serve renters, landlords and homeowners at all income levels. More information about the initiative is available on the Village website at www.oak-park.us/climatecoaching.
