SPONSORED BY MASS CEC - Massachusetts will need an “all hands on deck” approach to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. For its 2+ million existing buildings, this will require significant efficiency improvements and full electrification.  However, the current rate of building transitions is a fraction of what is needed due in part to low consumer awareness, system design/integration challenges, and inherently complicated consumer decisions.

The future of our planet depends on our ability to innovate, co-create collaboratively, and achieve levels of synergy that transform. Certification programs define objective performance targets, yet a gap remains between rising performance goals and organizations’ capability to achieve them consistently. Aligning company vision, culture, operations, and integrated project delivery with clear goals is critical.
