How & When? Clean Heat & Climate-Friendly Homes for All
Join Building Energy Exchange (BE-Ex), NYC Housing Authority (NYCHA), NY Power Authority (NYPA), and NYS Energy Research & Development Authority (NYSERDA) for an engaging discussion on NY State’s groundbreaking 'Clean Heat for All' initiative and NYCHA’s window heat pump program.
The building sector accounts for over 70 percent of New York City’s carbon emissions, with nearly 40 percent of these emissions resulting from onsite space heating and hot water systems that rely on fossil fuels alone. While improving the efficiency of these systems is a crucial first step, a more substantial reduction in emissions will require a shift away from oil and gas altogether. This is where innovative technologies like window heat pumps come into play. Come and explore whether these retrofits are cost-effective (with minimal tenant disruption), and if they aren't, what the available alternative options are.
Discover how widespread implementation of this technology can align with Local Law 154 and the NYS plan to achieve 2M climate-friendly homes by 2030. Also learn about NYCHA, NYPA, and NYSERDA’s efforts to support these advancements and help achieve climate mandates at city and state levels.
