Demonstrating the benefits of building electrification options involves showcasing technologies in the community in ways that people can experience first hand. Activities include showcasing electrification technologies at local events and offering opportunities to see and try technologies, where appropriate.
Longmont is supporting Boulder County's induction cooktop lending program by offering a local pick-up and drop-off location for Longmont community members to check out a cooktop kit that includes a single-burner induction hob and cookware for two weeks.
As part of the Sustainable Business Program, the Induction Cooktop Program was launched to support local food service businesses in adopting cleaner cooking technologies and sustainable practices. The program aims to raise awareness about the benefits of induction cooking compared to traditional gas stoves, with a focus on improving energy efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and enhancing employee safety.
This initiative also provides ongoing support, guidance, and technical assistance to participating restaurants, helping them transition to greener operations while maintaining high-quality food service.
