Do the Math: Financing Decarbonization in Existing Multifamily Housing

We invite you to an interactive session on financing strategies for preparing New York's affordable housing to meet the climate goals of New York State and New York City. Presenters will share insights from Sustainable Affordable Housing, a recently published white paper by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and present an affordable housing finance model that demonstrates the need for innovative financial tools and incentives to drive early adoption.

Finance Low-Carbon Multifamily at Scale Using Data and Program Innovation

Join a candid discussion between innovators in the field of multifamily green financing. Panelists will share the motivations behind their institutions' efforts to spur adoption of low-carbon building design and technologies, and how access to detailed M&V and performance data has enhanced their ability to fill gaps in multifamily mortgage financing and programs.

Will Heat Pumps Break the Grid? Here’s Real Data!

What will it mean for the grid if we electrify all the things? The attempts to answer this question to date have been rooted in modeling assumptions. We’ll report from our NYSERDA-funded research project measuring the actual electric load profile of today’s electrically-heated high rise multifamily buildings in New York City, providing an empirical dataset that can be used to inform heating and cooling demand forecasting. The use case includes buildings built with electric heating in the 1960s-1980s and three new buildings with heat pumps.
