Description

Over a decade ago Lexington adopted a stretch energy code for buildings. Then about 20% better than the existing code, this stretch code was adopted statewide and eventually in 47 other states. Now Lexington has built several all electric buildings and is looking to do more, including ban new fossil fuel infrastructure. We interview Lexington Select Board Member Mark Sandeen about his and Lexington's years of leadership and learn how a small town can have a big impact.ResourcesLexington’s Sustainable Action PlanLexington’s Getting to Net Zero roadmapSustainable Lexington CommitteeWBUR story on Lexington's efforts to ban fossil fuel infrastructure
