Event Recap: Decarbonize Boston Summit
July 17, 2024
In the first of what is expected to become an annual event, the Decarb Boston Summit kicked off on June 18, 2024, at Sasaki. The Summit brought together building developers, REITs, corporate tenants, and technology providers, to discuss compliance and climate requirements and implications, innovation in materials, revolutionizing retrofits, next generation solutions, and financing for the future.
Yve Torrie moderated the panel on Pragmatic Solutions to Building Decarbonization with panelists from Turner Construction, Trane and JBB. She led the discussion by framing the policy landscape for decarbonizing large buildings in Boston, divided into those related to existing buildings and those related to new construction, as can be seen in the following slide:
Key:
- light blue relates to policies specific to Boston
- dark blue relates to policies outside of Boston
- orange relates to codes that are under the Commonwealth’s jurisdiction
