In this episode, we discuss two large-scale tools to advance the decarbonization of buildings in the United States: 1) incentive-driven building efficiency and electrification programs, and 2) building energy codes and standards . These are “carrots and sticks” of market transformation, and they have an interesting and complex relationship. How do these tools interact in the market, and how might these interactions change as decarbonization timelines become more urgent? Find out with our team of guest experts.
