This crew and how we work together is one of NYC's climate superpowers! During #climateWeek, the nerd herd that powers climate-responsive construction in NYC sits down together at one table to figure out a thorny problem or consequential idea. 'Till next year, y'all!
The highlight of my #climateweek was definitely yesterday's Nerdfest Part 2: Commercial VRF in Multifamily Buildings. VRF systems are not performing anywhere close to their rated efficiency, but the thoughtful discussion exceeded my expectations! Huge thanks to Jennifer Bloom Leone AIA LEED Ian Shapiro Sara Bayer, AIA, CPHC, NCARB, LEED AP Robb Aldrich and Kevin McDonald for sharing their data and insights, Betsy Parrington, PE and the team at Taitem Engineering for moderating and helping put this together, and of course Michael Reed and the wonderful folks at NYSERDA for hosting and assembling a room full of so many of my favorite people who love getting into these details. #multifamily #affordablehousing #decarbonization #vrf
