State and federal climate goals to reduce carbon emissions have spurred various rebates, tax credits and other incentives to encourage individual homeowners and developers to choose high-efficiency electric technologies for their buildings. Colorado is promoting all-electric buildings to help the state achieve its emissions reduction targets of 26% by 2025, 50% by 2030 and 100% by 2050 from 2005 levels. The fifth-leading source of greenhouse gas emissions in Colorado is its more than 2.5 million residential and commercial buildings, said Ari Rosenblum, spokesperson for the Colorado Energy Office. “There’s a reason we’re talking about efficient building — it’s cost effective and helps us reach climate goals,” said Kristen Hagerty, senior director of workforce development for Interstate Renewable Energy Council. “Our strategy is electrification to decarbonize. During new construction is the perfect opportunity to not bring in new natural gas infrastructure — you’re not incurring that cost.”
