I want to solve:

Grow the number of energy efficiency retrofits in low income housing. Increase support for and inclusion of buy local, buy healthy practices and policies as they relate to these retrofits (and beyond) and be able to demonstrate the benefits (both energy and non-energy) of implementing these ideas in our most vulnerable communities.

I want to collaborate with:

Those who share an interest in exploring the benefits of local purchasing as an addition to discussions around energy efficiency and healthy building practices and collaborate directly with those who are building/retrofitting affordable housing to provide input on best practices when it comes to building product selection.
