Building-System Strategies for Resilient Cooling (Web-based)
The existing building stock in the United States was not designed to cope with current extreme temperatures. Much needs to be done to fix aging housing, from upgrading poor insulation to fixing ineffective air conditioning, while also designing new buildings for future temperatures, if warming trends continue. This webinar will focus on building-system strategies to reduce the impacts of extreme heat on buildings, showcasing cooling solutions beyond conventional air conditioning. Participants will hear directly from experts on the policies that will enable greater proliferation of resilient cooling solutions that offer co-benefits for energy efficiency, reduced household energy burdens, and greater energy reliability.
