As the Biden administration drafts a national definition for zero-emissions buildings, industry stakeholders have until Feb. 5 to provide information for Part 1, which addresses operational emissions, according to a Jan. 3 news release from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Building Technologies Office, or BTO.
Responses to the request for information will help frame a zero-emissions definition that will serve “as a clear market signal and consistent target, backed by measurable data, to help move buildings toward zero emissions goals,” the BTO said. It is seeking input from industry, academics, research labs, government agencies and others, per the release.
