With carbon emissions reaching an all-time high, the decarbonization of residential buildings has become increasingly essential in the fight against climate change. Decarbonization involves transitioning buildings to all-electric power in combination with renewable or carbon-free energy sources. Residential energy use accounts for approximately 20% of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., the most common of…
The wine industry has grown more conscious of carbon emissions over the years, however, there’s still a need for further decarbonization in wineries. Decarbonization essentially involves transitioning buildings to all-electric power in combination with renewable or carbon-free energy sources. Although the growing process itself represents a small portion of the overall greenhouse gas emissions, transportation,…
As we race against the clock to address climate change, the need for decarbonization in commercial real estate becomes increasingly vital. Decarbonization refers to the process of transitioning buildings to all-electric power in combination with renewable or carbon-free energy sources. The building industry accounts for nearly 40% of the world’s carbon emissions; in California, specifically,…
As the threat of climate change becomes more dire, so too does the need for decarbonization in affordable housing; decarbonization refers to the process of transitioning buildings to all-electric power in combination with renewable or carbon-free energy sources. In California, there are over 3 million low-income renters living in multifamily housing; to adequately meet our…
DECARBONIZATION IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING Decarbonization for school buildings can have a significant impact on not only carbon emissions but also building function, student learning, and overall community well-being. Decarbonization involves transitioning buildings to all-electric power in combination with renewable or carbon-free energy sources. K-12 schools are one of the largest public sector consumers of energy,…
BUILDING DECARBONIZATION Building decarbonization, which involves transitioning buildings to all-electric power in combination with renewable or carbon-free energy sources, is essential for meeting California’s long-term climate goals. One of the biggest hurdles we face in the fight against climate change is greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), the most common of which is carbon dioxide (CO2). Buildings…
