A toolkit for advocates and implementers on advancing neighborhood-scale building decarbonization strategies that shift the unit of building decarbonization from the building to the block, from the individual to the community.
Neighborhood-scale building decarbonization presents an exciting alternative: shifting the unit of building decarbonization from the building to the block, from the individual to the community. When done right, it can also offer an opportunity to go beyond simply installing electric appliances to also address environmental toxins, improve energy efficiency, and install solar and battery storage. This approach lowers utility bills and creates healthy homes for all residents, regardless of whether they are rich or own their home.
