Workshop: NYC Apartment Hacks for Climate Action

69% of households rent their homes – if you’re among them, you might feel powerless to take climate action in your daily choices at home. In reality, there are a lot of actions you can take!

Join us for an evening of experts, building professionals, and New Yorkers sharing low-tech actions and technologies anyone can implement, even in a small, rented apartment, to reduce your impact on the climate while improving your quality of life. We’ll go beyond ConEdison’s tips to install LED light bulbs and cover topics such as smart radiator covers, night flush cooling, making compost manageable, and even line-drying laundry. We might sprinkle in ideas for offices as well!

We’ll hear from experts such as the Center for Zero Waste Design, and more – including our hosts at Transsolar KlimaEngineering (Stuttgart/München/New York) and the sound-dampening window ventilators installed at their office. Our experts will lead us in a moderated discussion, sharing their knowledge and hacks with the crowd before we open the floor to share your personal energy-efficient hacks, innovations, and ideas!

Followed by a reception
