This move aligns with the city&#8217;s goal to become carbon neutral by 2050 and is expected to lead to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from buildings, which are a significant contributor to the city&#8217;s overall carbon emissions. The new codes will require all new buildings and major renovations to be designed and constructed to significantly exceed the current state energy code, making Boston a leader in energy-efficient building design and a model for other cities to follow.<\/h2>\n<p><em><strong>This post reprinted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbur.org\/news\/2023\/03\/16\/boston-housing-energy-efficient-building-code\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WBUR<\/a> explore the benefits of the new stretch codes, the challenges they present, and what they mean for the future of sustainable building design in Boston and beyond.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Boston\u00a0would\u00a0adopt a new, voluntary\u00a0<a class=\"elr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mass.gov\/info-details\/stretch-energy-code-development-2022#final-code-language-for-stretch-code-update-and-new-specialized-stretch-code-\">energy-efficient building code<\/a>\u00a0that would require new construction be wired for all-electric use under a plan pitched by Mayor Michelle Wu\u00a0on\u00a0Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">If approved by the City Council, the climate friendly standards would apply to new buildings and major renovations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inset-text\"><span data-nosnippet=\"\">WBUR is a nonprofit news organization.
