Pathways to Decarbonize Existing Homes and Buildings

In order for states in the region to meet their climate goals, a comprehensive and robust solution to rapidly retrofit the existing building stock is critical. Existing commercial and residential buildings represent the majority of America's building stock.

Lowering the energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions of the building sector necessitates comprehensive, deep energy retrofit programs for existing residential and commercial buildings to achieve immediate carbon reductions as well as longterm energy savings, improved occupant health, and advanced building performance.
