From compliance to action: building performance standards

The road to net-zero is often paved with complex engineering jargon and shifting policy landscapes. This webinar stripped away the technical density to provide a clear, actionable roadmap for building owners, facility managers, and developers in the Boston area and beyond.

Agenda

This webinar covered the following topics:

Navigating building performance standards: a breakdown of the Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance (BERDO) and other applicable standards. We discussed what these regulations require of you right now and how to avoid costly alternative compliance payments. Aidan Callan, BERDO Program Manager for the City of Boston, joined us to speak on Boston reporting requirements.
Decarbonization pathways: not every building should take the same route. We explained various strategic pathways, and how zero-over-time plans can yield the most strategic approach.
The million dollar question: how do you pay for decarbonization? We summarized Boston-specific financial incentives, state grants (Mass Save), federal tax credits, and broke down other financing mechanisms designed to make decarbonization economically viable.
