Can we use an Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) Tracking System to Get Buildings to Zero Carbon?

Technologies like Energy Efficiency, Battery Storage, Heat Pumps, and Rooftop Solar all generate Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs), which can help us reduce carbon in a meaningful way compared to some carbon offsets.

Learn about how an EAC tracking system could be designed to support the transition from annual clean energy matching to full decarbonization of our energy system.

Whether you are seeking to generate an EAC or use one for your zero-carbon project, this session is for you!
