High costs can be viewed as a significant barrier to decarbonization strategies. But across project scales, we must build responsibly based on what can be afforded and consider how the investments we make now can have the most equitable long-term impacts.

Filmed live at AIA Seattle’s 2022 Practicing Equity & Advocacy in Rapid Decarbonization summit, this session explores research on affordable housing strategies, examples of all-electric systems implementation in low-income communities, decision-making processes to encourage owner/developer buy-in, and our collaborative responsibilities to our communities and environmental stewardship.

After viewing this course, you will better understand how all-electric systems can benefit low-income communities and how guide stakeholders toward collaborative practices that result in better environmental stewardship.
