SUMMARY:ULI Boston: Decarbonizing the Built Environment - Why the Future is
  Bright for Electrification
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE. PRICES VARY.\n\nBoston and Cambridge are emergin
 g as national leaders in building decarbonization. Innovative policies suc
 h as BERDO and BEUDO are transforming the way buildings are designed\, ret
 rofitted\, and powered\, accelerating the transition away from fossil fuel
 s while presenting new challenges for developers\, utilities\, and enginee
 rs.\n\nElectrifying the built environment demands substantial upgrades to 
 infrastructure and the integration of advanced technologies—from heat pu
 mps to microgrids and distributed energy systems. As cities pursue ambitio
 us climate goals\, collaboration among policymakers\, developers\, utiliti
 es\, and technology providers is increasingly vital.\n\nThis panel will ex
 amine both the policy and economic forces driving decarbonization\, as wel
 l as the technical realities of electrifying buildings and infrastructure 
 throughout the Boston–Cambridge region. Topics of discussion will includ
 e:\n\n- BERDO and BEUDO policy frameworks\n\n- Utility grid capacity and i
 nfrastructure planning\n\n- Electrification strategies for various buildin
 g types\n\n- Emerging technologies\, such as heat pumps and microgrids\n\n
 - Developer case studies and project economics
