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
