Citywide weatherization of apartment units may soon become a reality for Burlington tenants.
Burlington City Council unanimously approved an ordinance that would require city landlords to insulate their rental units on Monday night.

The ordinance comes as an effort to meet Burlington s Net Zero Energy by 2030 goal as well as address high utility costs for city renters.
According to the Vermont Department of Health, weatherization reduces energy cost and usage, improves housing conditions, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and increases resilience to climate change impacts.
