Request for Proposals: Cost of Electrifying Existing Buildings Study

MassCEC seeks a Lead Research Consultant to conduct a Cost of Electrifying Existing Buildings Study. Through this study, MassCEC seeks to quantify and disseminate information on the cost of electrifying and increasing the energy efficiency of the existing building stock in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in alignment with the state’s 2050 net zero greenhouse gas limits. While data and modeling on the incremental cost of fully electrified new construction buildings are available for some building typologies in the Commonwealth, a current, comprehensive study of the incremental costs of electrifying the existing building stock in the Commonwealth is not. MassCEC intends the research conducted under this scope of work to address the question of the upfront costs of electrifying and increasing the energy efficiency of the existing building stock in the Commonwealth per the timelines and targets established in the 2025/2030 and 2050 Clean Energy and Climate Plans, both in absolute terms and relative to business-as-usual investments.
