Addressing the Built Environment: How Massachusetts Leads through Accessibility, Affordability, and Innovation at Scale

​Improving the energy efficiency, resiliency, and emissions performance of the built environment is critical to Massachusetts achieving its climate goals. With more than 36% of emissions attributed to buildings—and nearly 70% in the City of Boston— the challenge is comparable in scale to transportation. Addressing it will require coordinated action across the private and public sectors.

​Across Massachusetts, communities, institutions, and industry leaders are working to translate climate ambition into practical solutions. But key questions remain: How are communities tackling this challenge? What solutions are truly accessible and affordable? And which innovations can scale across buildings, campuses, and municipalities?

​This Boston Climate Week panel brings together leaders from across the building performance, energy planning, and infrastructure ecosystem to explore how Massachusetts continues to lead by example.

​The conversation will highlight:

• ​Advanced building diagnostics and data-driven insights that help identify efficiency opportunities at scale

• ​High-performance building design and envelope innovation that…
