'In order to move the needle, you've got to think in terms of a thousand [buildings],' he said. Luis Aguirre-Torres, Ithaca's new director of sustainability, is trying to do exactly that. The upstate New York city of 30,000, home to Cornell University and Ithaca College, adopted a Green New Deal in 2019, a big part of which involves decarbonizing thousands of privately owned commercial and residential buildings across the city.

The focus on retrofitting buildings -- installing electric heating systems, solar panels and battery storage as well as reducing energy use and greening the electric grid -- promises to tackle an often-overlooked but significant contributor to climate change: buildings make up nearly 40 percent of US carbon emissions.
