In 2024, nine states signed the Multistate Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to Accelerate the Transition to Zero-Emission Residential Buildings. Citing the need to reduce climate and air pollution, the MOU set a target for zero-emission heat pumps to make up 65% of the collective MOU state space and water heating market by 2030, and 90% by 2040. Those states have since been joined by Washington, DC, and Washington state.
This webinar will provide an overview of the Multistate Action Plan to Accelerate the Transition to Zero-Emission Residential Buildings. Released in September, the Action Plan provides over 50 recommendations to help states improve access to affordable clean heat. Participants will learn about the recommendations and hear directly from states on how they are working to advance zero-emission residential buildings. Speakers include Emily Levin, Director of Policy and Programs at NESCAUM, Liz Reichart, Deputy Director of Building Decarbonization at the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources, and Emily Salzberg, Managing Director for Clean Buildings at the Washington Department of Commerce.
