In February of 2020, Campbell passed an electrification policy requiring all-electric space and water heating in residential buildings. While there is certainly a lot of room for improvement with their policy to encompass commercial buildings and gas stoves, this is a major step toward creating a SAFE community and world.

In 2024, the city passed a policy for new construction and alterations to existing buildings to be built with Zero NOx pollution appliances, with some exceptions.
