Part 2 looks at the various pathways to building decarbonization explored by the state’s final CECP (Clean Energy and Climate Plan), their preferred approach, and our perspective on realistic solutions, with emphasis on meeting the 2030 emissions reduction targets. We view buildings as the state’s greatest challenge for 2030 and beyond. The wide range of proposed solutions and opinions reflect the complexity of the issues. Join us on Monday, August 8th, at 4pm for this conversation.
