In order to effectively address climate change, we need to stop burning fossil fuels in all sectors, including inside our homes and buildings. This report analyzes how residential single- and multifamily buildings can transition from fossil fuel-based heating, hot water, cooking, and other end uses to energy-efficient electric heat pumps and other technologies that will dramatically improve home energy efficiency. Based on interviews with program implementers and electrification experts, we examine technology, whole-building, and market-based barriers to achieving whole-building decarbonization in residential homes. We identify programs and strategies that are addressing these barriers and offer recommendations to scale up residential building electrification as a climate solution.
The commonwealth spends almost $11 billion a year buying energy from out of state. Mass Save lowers bills and keeps money at home.
Utility energy efficiency programs have increased investment in low-income households, but significant gaps remain. This report examines spending and savings trends across 48 major U.S. utilities, identifies barriers to expanding low-income programs and highlights policies and program strategies that can improve energy affordability and equitable access to efficiency upgrades.
This report identifies pathways for India’s cement industry to decarbonise at a pace compatible with the national climate goal of net-zero emissions by 2070.
The United States faces interlocking energy challenges: rising home energy bills and gasoline prices; new demand for electricity from data centers and other loads; high greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels.
Now, a new era of energy efficiency progress in our buildings, transportation, and industry is needed to meet this moment. This wide-ranging study finds a massive opportunity.
