The Windy-City Winds it Up!
More recently, the City of Chicago announced it is launching ordinances to follow suit with other urban center’s decarbonization plans. With Chicago’s mayor noting that its buildings account for about 69% of the city’s emissions, it will now embark on a reduction plan to combat climate pollution by 67% by 2040. Spurring market activity over 2024-2026 means increasing the pace in which ground-source heat pumps are purchased and adopted as electrification incentives take hold. Builders and project owners will need to demonstrate compliance with incoming decarbonization ordinances for retrofitting buildings and new developments.
