No worries! “Central Heat Pump Water Heating Retrofits: Solutions for Technical and Programmatic Challenges” is now available at ? bit.ly/HeatPumpRetrofits Hear from Association for Energy Affordability, Inc. Senior Director of Workforce Development and Training Adam Romano, and Zero Carbon Buildings Director Nick Young as they share what they've learned, both technical and programmatic, about how to successfully deliver central heat pump water heating retrofits in your region and why this measure is such a crucial step on the path of building decarbonization.

Residential Retrofits for Energy Equity (R2E2) launched the R2E2 Playbook, a tool for community-based organizations, state and local governments, and others seeking to establish, improve, or expand energy upgrade programs for low- and moderate-income housing in their communities. ?? To launch the Playbook, leaders from across the country came together to showcase their program. Network member New Ecology, Inc. shared their case study and highlighted the importance of collaboration with program design. View the R2E2 Playbook at 2e2playbook.org View the webinar at https://lnkd.in/gcuSM6CS (New Ecology case study at 35:50min mark) R2E2 is a partnership of RN member Elevate and ACEEE, Emerald Cities Collaborative, and HR&A Advisors, and People’s Climate Innovation Center. #sustainable #development #collaboration #infrastructure #building #affordablehousing #equity
