Through the stewardship of open spaces, the protection of environmental resources, and the advancement of clean energy, EEA works tirelessly to make Massachusetts a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family.   Our commitment to environmental justice ensures that every resident, regardless of background or location, can live in a safe, clean environment and shares equally in the benefits of the clean energy transition.

The Department of Energy Resources’ (DOER) mission is to create a clean, affordable, resilient, and equitable energy future for all in the Commonwealth. As the State Energy Office, DOER is the primary energy policy agency for the Commonwealth. DOER supports the Commonwealth’s clean energy goals as part of a comprehensive Administration-wide response to the threat of climate change. DOER focuses on transitioning our energy supply to lower emissions, reducing and shaping energy demand, and improving our energy system infrastructure. To meet our objectives, DOER connects and collaborates with energy stakeholders to develop effective policy. DOER implements this policy through planning, regulation, and providing funding.

DOER is committed to transparency and education, supporting the accessible access to energy information and knowledge.

DOER’s Energy Efficiency Division is seeking a Building Decarbonization Code Specialist to provide support on the Commonwealth’s recently updated building energy codes, efforts to improve decarbonization outcomes of these codes, and implementation of U.S. Department of Energy-funded code decarbonization programs and research.

DOER is responsible for the development and implementation of the Commonwealth’s Stretch Building Energy Code (Stretch Code) and Municipal Opt-in Specialized Stretch Energy Code (Specialized Code), which are thermal codes designed to reduce building emissions, improve resilience and comfort, and enhance efficient electrification and clean energy generation. The Specialized Code also includes mandatory Passivehouse (PHI or PHIUS) certification for new residential buildings over 12,000-square feet, and minimum solar requirements for new buildings using fossil fuels.
