January 30: Live Webinar on Overcoming Persistent Barriers to Energy Efficiency in Multifamily Housing through Partnerships

Webinar Sponsor: Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program

The Energy Department will present a live webinar titled "Overcoming Persistent Barriers to Energy Efficiency in Multifamily Housing through Partnerships" on Thursday, January 30, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Multifamily housing presents tremendous opportunities for improving energy efficiency nationwide, but has been a perennially difficult sector to tackle. While in many cases multifamily work has fallen outside of the jurisdiction of state energy offices (SEOs), this webinar will discuss how SEOs can play a key role by partnering with entities like housing authorities, utilities, and private investors to enhance and support energy efficiency policies and programs in this sector.
