Go All Electric: Decarbonizing Public Housing in Boston
BHA and Arup will present the results of a decarbonization study that lays out a plan to fully electrify 10,000 public and affordable housing units throughout the Greater Boston area by 2030 to meet an ambitious fossil free housing target. As the largest housing provider in Boston, the BHA decarbonization project will set a precedent for addressing the climate crisis while providing affordable housing that has a positive impact on the health and safety of both residents and the environment.
