Neighborhood-scale building decarbonization transitions street segments, neighborhoods, and entire communities to clean energy infrastructure, with the goal of managing and scaling the transition off of methane (“natural”) gas.
This map locates neighborhood-scale building decarbonization projects across North America, ranging from fully decarbonized neighborhoods to early plans.
Tracking neighborhood-scale decarbonization: The Building Decarbonization Coalition (BDC) has identified two primary pathways for achieving this scaled transition to clean energy: the electric network and the thermal energy network (TEN).
TENs, in particular, are a flexible technology that can take many forms depending on the location. This map categorizes TENs, plus other non-combusting district energy systems, according to their energy sources and approach to distribution.
How to use: Click the dots to learn more about a specific project. Hover over the “?” symbols in the legend to learn more about the categories. Click items in the legend to filter what is shown on the map.
