In 2023, Massachusetts will implement a new energy code, giving it one of the most progressive energy standards in the country. The code seeks to align with other upcoming regulations pushing projects to decarbonize and electrify and provides separate pathways for projects depending on their program, size, and location. This presentation will help architects and other design professionals to adapt projects already on the boards to meet these new code requirements and to start new projects off on the right foot.
