Buildings IOT reposted this
#ClimateWeekNYC is off to an amazing start! Many thanks to our friends at Amazon Web Services (AWS), Streetlife Ventures, NYU Tandon School of Engineering, and Climate Tech Cities for hosting us yesterday evening at #ClimateTechDemoNight. Kate Henningsen shared our vision for transforming buildings from passive energy consumers into active assets within an adaptive grid: 🔌 We know that modifying the way buildings operate represents a huge opportunity to reduce global emissions 🔌 We also know that US electricity demand is on the rise after decades of stagnation, with more data centers, EVs, and increasing electrification all playing a role 🔌 The good news: there are simple steps that we can take today, without construction or major upfront investment, to measurably reduce emissions and start building towards a more responsive, adaptive grid 🔌 Can buildings become part of the solution – rather than 40% of the problem? We think so! We've got lots of exciting things in the works, so watch this space.... #BuildingDecarbonization #GridInteractiveEfficientBuildings #AdpativeBuildings #FutureofRealEstate
