Achieving economy-wide decarbonization demands a targeted approach to reducing emissions from buildings. This comprehensive framework outlines four key policy pillars: 1️⃣ Equity and Workforce: Fostering community empowerment, inclusive workforce development, and clear metrics/goals. 2️⃣ Cap-and-Invest: Implementing clean heat standards, carbon reduction obligations, and funding mechanisms like cap-and-invest programs. 3️⃣ Codes and Standards: Establishing building energy codes, appliance efficiency standards, and equipment emission regulations. 4️⃣ Climate-forward Efficiency: Promoting clean heat and decarbonization programs, long-term planning, and utility regulation aligned with climate goals. Our new brief written in collaboration with NESCAUM and Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) outlines this multi-faceted strategy which offers a roadmap for states to drive building decarbonization.
