AI Summary

This bill establishes a Zero Carbon Renovation Fund to provide funding for energy efficiency renovations of existing buildings, including affordable housing, public housing, low-to-moderate income homes, municipal buildings, and small businesses. The fund will be administered by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Technology Center, in consultation with the Department of Energy Resources, and will cover the costs associated with making these buildings highly energy efficient, using all-electric heating, hot water, and cooking technologies, installing on-site renewable energy, and using low-embodied carbon materials. The fund will also cover the costs of remediating existing building conditions, such as mold, asbestos, and accessibility issues, that must be addressed before the renovations can be completed. The bill prioritizes funding for buildings located in environmental justice communities, gateway cities, and communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, and aims to ensure geographic equity and represent a variety of building typologies in the Commonwealth.
