Biden Admin Unveils First National Blueprint for Reducing Building Emissions

On April 2, the Biden administration’s Department of Energy ( DOE ) unveiled its first-ever national blueprint for aggressively decarbonizing the country’s residential and commercial building sectors.
Titled” Decarbonizing the U. S. Economy by 2050: A National Blueprint for the Buildings Sector”, the complete program is non- bound. This means there is a possibility that construction firms, building proprietors, and local governments, who may resist the measures and goals listed in the program, does not work upon it.
Still, officials say it has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas ( GHG ) emissions from buildings by 65 percent by 2035 and 90 percent by 2050.
The Department of Energy stated in a press release that the template represents the” first sector-wide technique for building renewables developed by the federal government” and highlights President Biden’s whole-of-government method for “reducing harmful carbon emissions and achieving the world’s ambitious clean energy and climate targets.”
