Future Housing: A New Paradigm for Building Performance Tracking

Buildings are for people. The lack of performance data on low-carbon multifamily remains a significant barrier to achieving equitable decarbonization. Future Housing redefines “building performance” to focus on resident experience, health risks and energy/carbon impact. Future Housing also seeks to create a public, equity-centered database of performance data on low-carbon MF buildings. In this session we will share the results of Future Housing R&D to date, including: measured energy and carbon from 320+ low-carbon MF properties in the Northeast, plus resident and health-risk performance metrics results from six of these properties.
