What is the E-Z Code?
Guest Speakers:

Massachusetts will implement a Net Zero Stretch Code in the near future. But, how will they define net zero? During this session, we will present an overview of the E-Z Code. We will place the E-Z Code in context of the Commonwealth’s drive to a carbon neutral economy and alternative net zero code proposals. We will also engage in dialogue around specific goals and requirements of the E-Z code and advocacy opportunities.
