Bill Summary
For legislation to establish building energy performance standards. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill establishes building energy performance standards in Massachusetts. It requires owners of buildings larger than 15,000 square feet to annually report their energy use data to the Department of Energy Resources (DOER). The DOER will set building energy performance standards every 5 years, and building owners will have 5 years to meet these standards through various compliance pathways, such as improving energy efficiency or reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Building owners that fail to comply will face financial penalties. The bill also directs the DOER to coordinate with utility companies to provide incentives and financial assistance to help building owners meet the performance standards.
