Why this is important: This case study demonstrates how a healthcare center can decarbonize by replacing end-of-life HVAC systems with air to water heat pumps and heat pump RTUs.

Why this is important: This case study demonstrates how a religious worship building can improve occupant thermal comfort and save money on utilities through electrification and added building controls.

Why this is important: This case study demonstrates how a historic manufacturing space can plan for phased decarbonization, improving energy efficiency first then electrifying heating and cooling.

Why this is important: This case study demonstrates how a hotel can pursue electrification through roof replacement, HVAC optimization, and targeted envelope upgrades.

Why this is important: This case study demonstrates how a large multi-family building can decarbonize over long-term system changes, including air sealing, new windows, and heat pump replacements.

Why this is important: This case study demonstrates how a recently constructed mixed-use office and retail facility can improve performance and electrify heating and cooling.

Why this is important: This case study demonstrates how an elementary school can replace end-of-life boilers with a heat pump system, adding air sealing and solar to improve performance and comfort.

Why this is important: This webinar covers how two institutions, Wellesley Village Church and Allston Brighton CDC, balanced, sequenced, and financed decarbonization measures.

Why this is important: This webinar covers navigating building performance standards, various pathways to decarbonization, and a general overview of how to pay for building upgrades.

Why this is important: This case study examines seven scenarios for Boston BERDO compliance in the context of an aging/end-of-life building enclosure and mid-life mechanical systems.

Why this is important: Introductory guide to understanding building decarbonization and steps for owners to begin their own emissions reduction plans.

Why this is important: Planning ahead for building upgrades allows owners to prepare for system updates and take full advantage of the long-term benefits and risk mitigation associated with retrofitting.

Why this is important: Provides a standard framework for buildings pursuing decarbonization to document a long-term plan, including building profile, equipment life cycles, and business-as-usual costs.

Why this is important: Helps you quickly understanding the landscape of building performance-related laws across the U.S.

Why this is important: Provides a practical framework for planning decarbonization by aligning emissions reductions with capital planning, and long-term goals.
