The Boston City Council's recent amendment to the Building
Energy Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance (BERDO), known as BERDO 2.0, will
require large existing buildings to move from energy reporting to net zero greenhouse
gas emissions by 2050. The BSA, with sponsorship from ROCKWOOL and the cooperative
support of the Building Enclosure Council and Committee on the Environment
Knowledge Communities, recently hosted John Straube, PhD, PEng, principal and senior
building science specialist at RDH Building Science, to discuss implications
for both new construction and retrofits of large buildings in Boston.
