Residential communities form a cornerstone of a climate-adaptive, resilient future, such that carbon reduction technologies and associated measures that improve health, equity and resilience for people in their homes promise multiplying benefits to society, if executed with such priorities in mind. Multifamily residential buildings in particular present significant opportunities for decarbonization; the 24 hours/day operation of these buildings has great implications for energy use, occupant health and comfort, and indoor air quality demands in every season and location. This panel will lay out both the unique challenges and technical solutions to create socially just, comfortable, and healthy living spaces while achieving decarbonization goals.
