A library of building performance resources sourced from experts and partners from across Massachusetts and beyond. Discover relevant tools, case studies, on-demand training, and more all curated in one spot.
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: Example of a mixed-use residential and artist studios building in Boston that implemented upgrades to save energy on heating and cooling, improve comfort and durability.
Why this is important: Retrocommissioning is the process of optimizing a building's HVAC, electrical, and other systems to save energy. Learn from this example of BXP's office buildings across Boston.
Why this is important: Example of a large affordable housing building deep energy retrofit that fostered collaboration between the building owner and tenants organization.
Why this is important: Learn how a historical church in Boston upgraded their systems, added geothermal heating and cooling, and preserved architectural integrity.
Why this is important: Learn from an affordable housing deep energy retrofit that leveraged local, state, and federal funds.
Why this is important: This 2-page case study covers the project's funding sources, pre-existing conditions, retrofit strategy, tenant engagement, and lessons learned.
