⚡Maryland and other U.S. states need to review their electricity rates to ensure they are fair for heat pumps. #HeatPump #EnergySky #ClimateSky #GreenSky #HVAC #EnergyAffordability #BuildingDecarbonization #CleanHeat #Maryland #ElectrifyEverything #UtilityRates #mdpol #EnergyPolicy #BuildingDecarb

Families are struggling with home energy bills and need solutions now.

But outdated electricity rates are overcharging customers who use efficient heat pumps--$359/yr for BGE customers. Fairer rates would save people real $$.

Maryland Needs Fairer Electric Rates for Heat Pumps - Evergreen Collaborative
Households with heat pumps are being overcharged, but there is a solution—a new electric rate that charges them fairly for their electricity use.

Councilmember Sanchez pitches 10-year J-51 extension to help preserve aging housing
Council Member Pierina Sanchez outlined a state-authorized extension of the J-51 abatement that would run through June 2036, raise the assessed-valuation cap for co-ops and condos from $45,000 to $60,000 per unit, and allow owners to recover up to 100% of rehabilitation costs; the sponsor said the program could reach up to 300,000 buildings.

next client or sponsor who wants greener concrete can use our 2 mix designs (published here & on our website) as a starting point. We extended what others before us proved out & now our work will be extendable by others too #buildingdecarbonization #greenerconcrete #buildforchange
Using the lessons learned from the prior concrete pour, an elevated second floor metal deck is covered in lightwight concrete. There are windows along both sides of the brick and block walls, many of which are open. There is a large front window pane. The ceiling is wood and there is a large rectangular opening for the stairs towards the center of the frame. The floor extends most of the length of the building but stops short to create a two-story loft.
