ASHRAE’s Building Decarbonization Retrofit Guide for Commercial and Multifamily Buildings is now available! NORESCO had the honor of being selected to author this essential publication, designed to help building owners, design engineers, engineering consultants, facilities personnel, and other building industry professionals. The retrofit process outlined and the strategies provided in this guide are fundamental for building upgrades that will help state and local energy offices achieve their GHG reduction goals. Our exceptional team of over 20 in-house experts has brought together decades of experience to create this resource. This guide offers a clear framework for understanding the decarbonization process, making it easier to engage in meaningful dialogues at the right time along the decarbonization journey. https://lnkd.in/eRdqSCsG

Exciting news from Carrier and Google Cloud. Enhanced grid flexibility and smarter energy management ahead. 

John Arent, of NORESCO’s Codes and Standards team, will present at The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) 2025 Hot Water & Hot Air Forum. He’ll participate in a session about the latest research on new A2L refrigerants with lower global warming potential (GWP) for both new installations and retrofit HVAC&R designs. John’s presentation will discuss a study in which NORESCO evaluated electrification options for office and school buildings as potential new requirements of central space heating for the California Energy Code. #codesandstandards #Title24Part6 #CaliforniaEnergyCode
