To help curb climate change, the United States is working to reduce carbon emissions from all sectors of the energy economy. Much of the current effort involves electrification—switching to electric cars for transportation, electric heat pumps for home heating, and so on.

What's less obvious — but no less important — is the role more efficient and grid-responsive buildings can play in helping to ease the transition to a carbon-free grid. It's not hard to understand why energy-efficiency investments will make it easier to decarbonize homes, offices, stores and other buildings.

A carbon-free grid needs batteries that can store solar and wind power for use when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. But batteries don’t necessarily make power grids cleaner — not unless the power they charge up with is much lower-carbon than the power they displace.
