An Act relative to healthy and sustainable schools

Maddy summaryThis bill amends state law to require public schools and universities in Massachusetts to conduct energy assessments and implement efficiency improvements. It directly affects K-12 public schools, municipally-owned higher education institutions, and public institutions of higher education by mandating these environmental upgrades. The legislation aims to reduce the buildings' carbon footprint, lower energy costs, and improve indoor air quality to address climate risks and health issues like asthma. By requiring these assessments and improvements, the bill seeks to align school infrastructure with broader state climate goals while creating potential jobs in the retrofitting and solar energy sectors.
