Meet building performance standards with district energy
Local and state building standards
States and cities around the U.S. are enacting building performance standards for existing and new buildings. As trusted partners, Vicinity is helping our customers meet building standards in the cities and states they operate in.
Public-private partnership
At Vicinity, we believe that public-private partnership is critical to reaching a carbon-free future as quickly as possible, which is why we work closely with our local, city, and state governments.
