To reduce emissions at the speed that science demands, we need approaches to heating and cooling beyond retrofitting individual buildings. Thermal energy networks offer a solution to some of the greatest challenges in building decarbonization: scalability, equitable access, cost, electricity demand and pathways to high-quality jobs. Hear from experts how building thermal energy networks promises to create union jobs, reduce pollution and connect more communities to clean energy. On Wednesday, Dec. 11, noon ET, join the Climate Jobs Institute for a webinar and discussion on thermal energy networks, how they work, and why they are essential to meeting our nation’s building decarbonization goals while growing the green future of the labor movement. You will also hear from labor leaders and climate experts about pilot projects in New York and outline the next steps to expand this technology access across the state and country. Learn more and register here.
