AI Summary
This bill aims to advance building energy efficiency and decarbonization in Massachusetts. It establishes new divisions within the Department of Energy Resources to oversee building energy and emissions reduction programs. The bill requires the Department to set building emissions intensity limits and energy performance standards that align with the state's greenhouse gas emissions limits. It creates a grant and loan program to support building energy retrofits, funded in part by a new Building Energy Retrofit Program Trust Fund. The bill also requires updates to the state's building energy code to incorporate a more stringent "stretch" code over time.
