Massachusetts H3337 mandates embodied carbon emission reductions in state-funded projects.

Massachusetts H3337 requires state-funded projects larger than 50,000 square feet or renovations over 20,000 square feet to reduce embodied carbon emissions by at least 30%. The bill defines "embodied carbon" as greenhouse gas emissions from product life cycles. It mandates three compliance pathways: performance, building reuse, and prescriptive. The Department of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance must establish rules for these pathways and conduct biennial reviews to set future reduction targets. The bill also requires data collection and transfer to the federal LCA Commons.
