What is BERDO?
Boston’s Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance (BERDO) is a local law that aims to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions generated by large buildings in Boston. Starting in either 2025 or 2030, building owners will need to comply with building emissions standards (i.e., emissions limits). These emissions standards decrease over time, with all buildings expected to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
