Passive House MA is a member-driven organization that promotes a healthy and comfortable built environment that reduces energy use and lowers carbon emissions.
We'll be analyzing the success of local Passive House projects, debating technological changes, discussing workforce expansion, and sharing crucial updates on regulatory and funding changes.
Yesterday was a good day for building decarbonization. #Wellesley & #Arlington voted to opt-in to the highly efficient #SpecializedStretchCode! Congratulations to the tireless advocates who made this possible! This brings the communities opted-in up to 10. Let's keep it up!
Are you a carpenter who needs to learn how to build to the new high-performance standards? There's still a few spots left for this workshop: https://t.co/06EPsgEKD2
Great to see Boston opting-in to the new Specialized Code. “It will increase energy efficiency, reduce emissions and advance our overall carbon neutrality goals” - @MayorWu! https://t.co/xlFnIOlxng via @WBUR
Excellent news out of Boston this morning! @wutrain has announced that the city will move forward with opting into the Specialized Stretch Code. By taking this step, the city will be reducing emissions, improving indoor air quality, & lowering energy costs

Let's stop digging the hole deeper! @BrosForDecarb
Right now, existing buildings in MA are responsible for almost one third of the state’s carbon emissions.
That’s why we’re calling for a $300M #ZeroCarbonRenovationFund to fund upgrades & retrofits that move us all closer to #ZeroCarbon4All. https://t.co/2j6HjtJhRa
