Buildings

Buildings PathwayThe electricity, natural gas, and/or oil that we use in our homes, businesses, institutions, and municipal facilities (including public schools) result in the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Wellesley. To reduce the impact of our current and future building stock, we must enhance energy efficiency and switch our building systems and appliances over to electricity.
