Proposed Session Description
As states continue to implement decarbonization strategies for their buildings, strategic electrification will become more important, especially within codes. Every non-electrified building or home constructed today will have to be retrofitted in the future to be interconnected with grids that are moving towards 100% carbon-free renewable energy in many states. Incorporating strategic electrification and electrification readiness into national model codes, state building codes, and stretch codes will help prepare the building sector for this future. Please join us for an in-depth session that will address what strategic electrification is, why it should be an important component of building energy codes, and what states and local jurisdictions are doing to lead the charge.
