Main Objective

Home Energy Efficiency Team (HEET) proposes to conduct a leak detection study to better understand new volume based on leak grade classifications in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and to provide pipeline safety education and community awareness to the public, first responders, and municipalities about gas leak classifications and their repair prioritization. The project aims to help the public better understand how the gas companies are managing leaks and targeting risk, as well as demonstrating their commitment to transparency and improvement. Additionally, the findings of the study will provide gas companies with independent leak survey data to optimize safety on their distribution systems.
