Governor Baker has increased the Commonwealth’s commitment to carbon neutral by 2050. In order to achieve this, Massachusetts is developing a roadmap to reduce emissions by 80% 100%. At the same time, the BBRS is drafting a Net Zero Stretch Code. The City of Boston is developing performance standards for existing residential and commercial buildings, Brookline residents voted in favor of a natural gas ban, and the City of Somerville just passed carbon neutral zoning. The landscape is changing quickly, the Building Tech Forum will provide the context for how we get there.

How we manage and consume energy, design and build our cities, and understand our carbon footprint will change over the next thirty years.

Join us USGBC MA Building Tech Forum 2020 to share your roadmap to ’50.  Through five minute lightning presentations, experts will speak about innovations that are changing the way we design, construct and operate the built environment.
