Heating and powering our homes and businesses generates a significant amount of pollution contributing to global warming. With clean, energy efficient homes and buildings, we would significantly reduce climate pollution, drastically cut energy costs for owners and renters, and improve air quality where we live and work.  

Unfortunately, emissions from buildings are growing at a faster rate than any other source of carbon pollution because of the use of natural gas in homes and buildings. Gas poses significant health risks for our communities, children, and other vulnerable populations.  Indoor air quality risks are higher for low-income residents in smaller units with poor ventilation. 

Many cities in the region and around the country are seeking ways to ensure that all new buildings are electric; it's a key cost-effective pathway for achieving their local or state greenhouse emissions goals. Electrifying buildings is critical to addressing climate change, but it is also achievable, affordable, safe, and creates a more resilient energy system.

Hope you can join us!
