GBU Coffee Chat: Equitable Decarbonization – In Philadelphia and Around the World

Join Green Building United and our 2024 Muscoe Martin Fellow, Yuto Morishita for a conversation on how Philadelphia can learn from other cities as we work towards prioritizing equity in decarbonization conversations.

This conversation will provide an overview of Morishita’s full report and will:

• Examine the current state of energy burden in Philadelphia, identifying communities disproportionately affected by
  high energy costs.
• Evaluate the existing energy policies and programs in Philadelphia, assessing their effectiveness in promoting energy
  efficiency and affordability.
• Investigate the implementation of Building Performance Standards in other cities and regions, both domestically and internationally, to glean valuable insights and lessons learned.
• Assess the potential impact of adopting stricter building requirements in Philadelphia, similar to those in leading cities.
• Develop recommendations for a comprehensive and equitable approach to decarbonization in Philadelphia’s building sector
