MWG Buildings Ad Hoc Group

On April 28, 2020, the Mitigation Work Group (MWG) co-chairs agreed to create an ad hoc group of volunteers, both members and non-members of the MWG, focused on developing recommendations for decarbonizing buildings in Maryland. The group’s primary objectives, which come from the MWG’s 2020 Work Plan, are to:
  • Analyze and determine specific targets and timelines for decreasing emissions from residential and commercial buildings; 
  • Analyze and identify specific mechanisms for decreasing emissions from residential and commercial buildings;
The group presented its recommendations​ to the Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Workgroup of the Commission on September 24, 2020.  At its regular meeting on February 16, 2021, the Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Working Group discussed plans for the 2021 Buildings Ad Hoc group. The materials are posted above, in the MWG Working Group Meeting Materials for that date.
