Building Decarbonization Assessments & Strategic Decarbonization Plan

The City of Madison is seeking a contractor to provide decarbonization assessments of 21 priority buildings and a strategic plan for decarbonizing all 146 buildings in the City’s portfolio that currently use natural gas. The contractor will perform decarbonization assessments of each of the 21 priority buildings and develop a plan for decarbonizing all City buildings by 2035.
