AI Summary
This bill establishes a commission called the "energy neutral building standards commission" to identify best practices for implementing energy-neutral building designs and standards. The commission will consist of 13 members, including state legislators, state officials, and representatives from various industry and environmental organizations. The commission is tasked with recommending revisions to the Massachusetts building code to require new residential buildings and class A office spaces constructed after January 1, 2022, to be energy-neutral by design, while ensuring the cost of new construction does not increase more than 10% above the 2018 building code. The commission will also develop a program to inform and prepare relevant stakeholders about the new requirements, and submit a report with recommended building code and statutory changes by January 1, 2021.
