Creating a common vision of building decarbonization in New York
Legislation
Focus on bills which support a right-sizing of the gas system, remove barriers toward decarbonization, create opportunities for neighborhood-scale decarbonization solutions, address key equity concerns, and create thousands of union jobs.
Regulation
Advancing the first-in-the nation utility thermal energy networks at scale. Reorienting regulators and utilities to neighborhood-scale decarbonization and right-sizing the gas system. Ensuring that state agencies–especially the Public Service Commission and Department of Environmental Conservation–adopt regulations that implement the aggressive clean energy transition targets and goals in the Climate Action Council’s scoping plan.
Coalition Building
Convening policymakers, utilities, manufacturers, builders, designers, labor groups, environmental groups, and environmental justice organizations. Creating spaces where experts across industries work together to solve complex problems and create innovative policies to transition buildings off fossil fuel use and onto clean energy.
