Governor Charlie Baker joined Lt. Governor Karyn Polito, Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Mike Kennealy and Secretary of Health and Human Services Marylou Sudders to sign an Executive Order terminating the Commonwealth’s State of Emergency effective June 15, 2021. The Order also rescinds most COVID-19 restrictions, including limitations placed on businesses, as of tomorrow, May 29 as Massachusetts nears the goal of vaccinating four million residents. This week, the Commonwealth passed the 3.5 million mark for fully vaccinated residents.

The City of Cambridge today amended its emergency order requiring that face masks or coverings be worn in indoor public places to include common areas of residential buildings with at least four units as well as common areas of office and laboratory buildings. The order applies to everyone over the age of two years old, with exceptions in alignment with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health guidelines. This amended order takes effect on Friday, January 7, 2022 at 12:01 a.m.

Cambridge has carefully planned and created policies that gave the City a unified roadmap and enforceable standards to cut building greenhouse gas emissions and energy use, reduce waste and electrify transportation, and harden infrastructure citywide. They also institutionalized accountability for measurable outcomes.

Cambridge has regulations that require buildings to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, be fossil fuel free, be energy efficient, improve resiliency, and prepare for the impacts of climate change.

The Building Energy Use Disclosure Ordinance lays out steps for non-residential buildings 100,000 square feet or larger to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, and for non-residential buildings with more than 25,000 square feet to reach net zero by 2050.

City staff will host a forum about proposed changes to the Building Energy Use Disclosure Ordinance (BEUDO).
