Technical Issues & Opportunities

In the race to decarbonize, the U.S. commercial building sector offers significant potential to pay early dividends on climate action. At stake is seven percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions to replace fossil fuels used primarily for heating and hot water, a sizable impact that could be more quickly attained than efforts to decarbonize other parts of our built environment.

This two-part webinar will address the technical, financial, and policy challenges in achieving substantial decarbonization of existing commercial buildings in particular—the harder-to-transition bulk of this sector that requires large-scale retrofits.
