The road to net-zero is often paved with complex engineering jargon and shifting policy landscapes. This webinar strips away the technical density to provide a clear, actionable roadmap for building owners, facility managers, and developers in the Boston area and beyond. Whether you are navigating the immediate requirements of local ordinances or looking for long-term ROI, this session provides the information you need to succeed.
This webinar will cover the following topics:
– Navigating building performance standards: a breakdown of the Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance (BERDO) and other applicable standards. We will discuss 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, will be joining us to speak on Boston reporting requirements.
– Decarbonization pathways: not every building should take the same route. We will explain the 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 will summarize Boston-specific financial incentives, state grants (Mass Save), federal tax credits, and break down other financing mechanisms designed to make decarbonization economically viable.
