Going Electric: Retrofitting NYC'S Multifamily Buildings
In order for NYC to achieve a low-carbon future, buildings will need to transition from burning fossil fuels to using electricity for heating and hot water. This process, known as electrification, will bring a heating revolution to the New York City multifamily building sector - one that will also require a comprehensive and coordinated effort from NYC government and industry.
This live webinar will examine and discuss Urban Green Council's newly-released report, Going Electric: Retrofitting NYC's Multifamily Buildings. More than 40 advisors from real estate, energy efficiency, HVAC manufacturing, utility and government sectors were consulted to learn why so few NYC multifamily buildings have invested in retrofits to date. Primary barriers for multifamily building retrofit investments and 9 steps to address these barriers within the next five years will also be discussed.
