Buildings contribute approximately 53% of Wellesley’s town-wide carbon footprint and approximately 70% of the municipality’s carbon footprint, which includes schools. This Collaborative meeting will focus on the state of the art of sustainable/net zero energy (NZE) construction and its application to commercial, municipal and residential construction.      

The Collaborative will also provide opportunities to:

  • Speak with contractors and suppliers with experience in energy conversions to learn how to make your home more sustainable; and
