Fireside Chat with Audience Q&A

What are the unique electrification challenges in multifamily housing? How have property owners, contractors, and energy program developed solutions? Multifamily electrification is tricky because of the diversity of multifamily building vintages, types, and energy systems. However, there are now more incentives, rebates, and sources of technical assistance for energy efficiency and electrification than ever before. While energy auditors and contractors will face unique conditions in specific buildings, the speakers at the next Building Electrification Clubhouse will share a general framework for deciding whether multifamily electrification is feasible, and if so, how to achieve it in a cost-efficient manner using available and emerging technologies.
