The proposed code would promote building electrification and energy-efficient construction, including passive housing standards for certain buildings. The committee said lower utility costs and reduced stress on the electric grid could result, but noted that electricity costs may have influenced the failed vote. Members also discussed promoting the code, hosting a sustainability film at the library, and sharing information about MassSave rebates and zero- to 4% loans through the Massachusetts Community Climate Bank.
