Building Decarbonization Coalition

The Building Decarbonization Coalition unites building industry stakeholders with energy providers, environmental organizations and local governments to help electrify homes and workspaces with clean energy. Through research, policy development, and consumer inspiration, the BDC is pursuing fast, fair action to accelerate the growth of zero-emission homes and buildings that will help the nation cut one of its largest sources of climate pollution while creating safe, healthy and affordable communities. Burning fossil fuels for heating and cooking poses a serious threat to our health and the planet - helping make buildings and homes the largest source of climate pollution in the world. Buildings are second only to transportation as the leading cause of climate change, but we have no clear plan to address these emissions. The BDC drives action by working with policymakers, the building industry and consumers to dispatch zero-emission lifestyle solutions - eliminating the need for fossil fuels and helping to slash climate pollution. Moving the nation's homes and buildings off fossil fuels will improve public health, cut climate pollution, deliver cleaner air, and alleviate rising housing prices and monthly energy bills. To get there, we are activating strong leadership from communities and decision-makers, locally and nationwide.
