rchitect Jeremy Baldwin, Multifamily Studio Leader at Maugel DeStefano Architects, highlights the importance of staying updated on Massachusetts' evolving energy codes and regulations. These changes are crucial for achieving the state's ambitious goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. The new codes are substantial and necessitate a deep understanding among architects, engineers, and building industry professionals.

    Currently, Massachusetts has three distinct energy codes: Base Code, Stretch Code, and Specialized Net-Zero Opt-In Code. It's important to discuss these requirements with the developer to determine which municipality they're in and which code they're subject to. Not all municipalities have adopted all of these codes.

    For a comprehensive understanding of these topics, check out Mr. Baldwin's exclusive interview with Boston Real Estate Times.
