Net Zero requirements are increasingly tied to public funding, even in traditionally conservative regions, creating new challenges for fire and law enforcement facilities. This session explores how agencies can reduce energy use, incorporate on-site renewables, and navigate rising sustainability expectations without compromising affordability.

Through case studies, including the Cambridge Fire Department and Exeter, New Hampshire, attendees will see how Net Zero goals can be achieved in both urban and rural settings. Strategies include all-electric systems, high-performance building envelopes, geothermal wells, and photovoltaic panels. The program provides practical guidance to help public safety agencies meet evolving mandates and avoid costly missteps.
