Join host Michelle Moran and co-host Alina Michelewicz for a deep dive into decarbonization. In this episode, Marty Josten and Pat Coleman, two leaders at New Ecology specializing in making existing buildings sustainable, explain what it takes to transform our existing building stock into efficient, healthy, affordable, and resilient homes. We explore the concepts of benchmarking, zero over time, and the energy auditing process. This episode was made possible by a Mass Save Community Education Grant.
