President’s Biden’s recent announcement to invoke the Defense Production Act could expand domestic manufacturing of heat pumps. This blog summarizes the current policy landscape related to heat pumps in the U.S.

Heat pumps are a crucial strategy for decreasing emissions from the building sector. This post summarizes the major factors concerning this promising piece of low-carbon infrastructure and the role it could play in decarbonizing buildings.

The Washington State Building Code Council (SBCC) held its first public hearing on February 25, 2022 about the full suite of proposed changes to the Washington State Energy Code-Commercial 2018 Edition.

When the Washington State Legislature passed the Climate Pollution Limits bill in 2020, it etched into law aggressive economy-wide carbon emissions limits to achieve by 2050. For the building sector, this translates into a 96% emission decrease below 2020 levels in three decades.

The Clean Energy Transition Institute and the 2050 Institute developed Operation 2030 to frame and jumpstart multilevel mobilization to fully scale building decarbonization activities by 2030, with specific emphasis on time-critical strategic decisions and actions that must happen in the 2020s.
