Climate Confident Making Low Income Housing Energy Efficient - A Chat With Ryan Cassidy
Energy efficiency isn't nearly as sexy a topic as building out some shiny new solar farm, but it is equally important, and when this energy efficiency benefits low income families who have traditionally been disproportionately effected by issues such as climate change, and pollution, even better again.
In this episode of the podcast I spoke to Ryan Cassidy. Ryan is the Director of Sustainability & Construction at RiseBoro Community Partnership in New York.
We had a fascinating conversation discussing how Riseboro is making low income housing in New York City extremely energy efficient, how that benefits the health, as well as the financial wellbeing of the families living there, and how these benefits can be realised by other communities.
This was an excellent episode of the podcast and I learned loads as always, and I hope you do too.
