High Performance Buildings

The Pathways to Zero Net Energy Program is a $3.5 million DOER initiative designed to assist with a transition to the next generation of high-performance buildings

Commercial and residential buildings are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Buildings consume 40 percent of primary energy used annually in the United States and 54 percent of energy used annually in Massachusetts. Our state is working to transform energy use in old and new buildings, moving toward super-efficiency and zero net energy renovation and construction, efforts critical to slowing the harmful progress of climate change.
