BERDO sets requirements for large existing buildings in Boston to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions over time. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) makes several clean energy tax credits available to businesses and building owners.

This event will: 

• Provide an overview of tax incentives available to BERDO building owners including tax deductions and tax credits
• Review the specific clean energy tax credits that BERDO building owners may be eligible for
• Discuss how the “direct pay” or “elective pay” provisions of the IRA help tax-exempt entities such as non-profits access clean energy tax credits
• Highlight informational resources available through Boston’s Retrofit Resource Hub
• Provide attendees with an opportunity to ask questions about tax incentives

This event will be held virtually over Zoom on Wednesday, October 2 from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m., including a time dedicated to Q&A.

The City of Boston’s Environment Department and Marcus Errico Emmer & Brooks, P.C. invite you to attend a webinar dedicated to condominium (condo) associations subject to Boston’s Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance (BERDO).

BERDO sets requirements for large existing buildings in Boston to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions over time. While BERDO covers all types of buildings, the condominium ownership structure is unique and creates distinctive challenges when complying with BERDO. 

This event will: 

• Provide an overview of BERDO compliance obligations for condo associations and 
• Share  best practices to help  condo associations, property managers, and unit owners comply with BERDO emissions standards and understand who is responsible for building improvements and costs.

At this event, the Environment Department will also announce the release of the new BERDO Compliance Handbook for Condo Associations.

This event will be held virtually over Zoom on Wednesday, September 25 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., including a time dedicated to Q&A.
