🏘️ Decarb Digest - November 2025

🗞️ BDC’s Nov. Decarb Digest highlights a big win for #ThermalEnergyNetworks in IL, a new children’s book — #TheCleanGreenNeighborhood — about union workers building all-electric neighborhoods & #BuildingDecarb related articles in @forbes.com, @timesunion.com & @marylandmatters.org bit.ly/3Lqg4vy 🔌💡

Thermal Energy Networks

You're welcome. It's unfortunately not easy to decrease temperature in existing grids as all substations must be changed...

The US also has fascinating development in #ThermalEnergyNetworks (TEN) which might be called 5th generation district heating in Europe.

Do you live in #Illinois? Then watch this video on how the passage this veto session of the #CRGA, which has the Thermal Energy Network and Jobs Act, will speed deployment of #ThermalEnergyNetworks, which deliver efficient, clean heating & cooling to entire neighborhoods. #Heatpump #Greensky

IL has a facility that is training #Union workers on how to build #ThermalEnergyNetworks (TENs). So this veto session, let’s pass the Thermal Energy Networks & Jobs Act as part of the #CRGA & get IL union workers busy building TENs that deliver clean, affordable heating & cooling! #ClimateSky 🔌💡

The Editorial Board: Even if it takes a few more years, New York should not backtrack on climate Opposition should not deter New York from striving to meet its goals – whether a few years late or not. In the grand scheme of things, the pushback against clean

💯 The @buffalonews.com Editorial Board is right: New York & @governor.ny.gov must keep moving forward on clean energy & #ThermalEnergyNetworks. Signing the 100-foot rule will ease a financial burden on ratepayers & help speed the transition to cleaner, healthier energy. 🔌💡 bit.ly/4nkzeR1

Wow. The New York State FY 26 Budget includes the largest state investment in Thermal Energy Networks (TENs) to date, with $200 million allocated to TEN projects for @sunyofficial.bsky.social campuses and Jamestown, NY. #thermalenergynetworks #energysky #climatesky #heatpump #builddecarb

WOW! This is the largest state investment in #ThermalEnergyNetworks in the U.S. to date. Now, let's build on this leadership and pass #NYHEAT!

Statement in Response to the FY 26 NY State Budget Lisa Dix, New York Director for the Building Decarbonization Coalition (BDC), provided the following statement in response to the FY 2026 State Budget.

BDC applauds the NYS Budget’s investment of $200 million for #ThermalEnergyNetworks at SUNY campuses and Jamestown, NY, which will cut pollution & create union jobs. We now urge lawmakers to take on high utility bills & deliver affordable clean energy to NYers by passing #NYHEAT! zpr.io/2P9iLSiWrFYT
