Bill Summary

Relative to the modernization of state heating systems. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill aims to modernize state heating systems by amending Chapter 25A of the General Laws. It would require the development and adoption of a specialized stretch energy code, which includes a definition of net-zero buildings. The bill also mandates that any public agency undertaking construction, renovation, or maintenance of a structure must comply with this specialized stretch energy code. Additionally, the bill directs the development of building code requirements to prepare structures for the future installation of electric appliances, solar panels, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure, in order to avoid costly future retrofits.
