Greenbuild International Conference & Expo 2024 reminded us of the power of open dialogue to spark momentum and close knowledge gaps in the fight for sustainable, affordable housing. Energy Analyst Ana Leopold and Principal Grayson Jordan took the stage to present Towards Affordable Decarbonization: Lowering Utility Costs in Electrified Multifamily Buildings, sharing insights that revealed a 20% increase in utility costs from electrification(!) With full electrification on the horizon, it’s critical to balance these added costs with practical, sustainable solutions. Developers, how are you addressing the challenges of electrification? What strategies are you implementing to stay on track with sustainability goals while keeping costs in check? Let us know in the comments! Sharing what works (and what doesn't) is key to shaping a resilient, affordable future for multifamily housing. More Info: https://lnkd.in/etDqhhpU
