The Cambridge Fossil Fuel-Free Ordinance, which goes in effect March 22, 2024, requires new construction and major renovation projects to be fossil fuel-free. This applies to residential and non-residential building projects.
Changes to the New Construction Building permit and Addition/Alteration permits will reflect the requirements of the Fossil Fuel-Free Ordinance. The Fossil Fuel-Free Ordinance will help Cambridge reach its climate goals, including being carbon-neutral by 2050 or earlier.
For more information on the City’s climate goals, view the Net Zero Action Plan.
