With Earth Day still fresh on everyone’s minds and the beginning of Summer around the corner, there is the inevitability that soon the energy use in NYC buildings will be going up. But wait- isn’t the city encouraging a decrease our carbon output? And aren’t buildings a top producer of carbon? Yes and Yes! That is why this May at GreenHomeNYC’s forum, we’ll be addressing just that!
At our annual Patty Noonan Memorial Forum on Policy, we will pick up where we left off last year in regards to the OneNYC Policy goals and the progress made thus far. Although the OneNYC Plan focuses on many different aspects of a stronger city, we will hear from guest speakers whose work correlates to the city’s goal of 80% reduction in greenhouse gasses by 2050, as well as hear analysis on the targets set before us.
Join us for an evening of insight and discussion from experienced professionals in the programs that are helping to achieve these important goals!
Date: Wednesday, May 18th
Time: 6:30-8:00pm
Place: Knoll Showroom, 1330 Ave of the Americas, New York, NY 10010

That education and training led to a position implementing Con Edison’s energy efficiency program serving small and mid-sized businesses. After that incredibly edifying experience, he joined a non-profit environmental education organization called Solar One where he worked to promote NYSERDA programming and initiatives. He is also in the final stretch of graduate studies at City College where he is pursuing a degree in Sustainability in the Urban Environment.
