Efficiency Without Disruption: Protecting Renters in Energy Efficiency Programs

About the event

This webinar examines the vital balance between upgrading rental housing and safeguarding tenant stability. While energy efficiency and electrification retrofits modernize older mechanical systems, reduce utility bills, and enhance indoor comfort, uncoordinated execution can severely impact tenants. Without deliberate planning, retrofit initiatives risk service interruptions, steep rent increases, resident disruption, and potential displacement. Led by researchers from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, the session addresses how program administrators and housing practitioners can successfully deliver essential efficiency improvements while actively protecting vulnerable renters from unintended economic and physical upheaval.
