What is your current work?
These days I mostly work for New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) and Columbia University. My NYCHA title is Temporary Employee, which is not particularly revealing; my CU title is Lecturer, Masters of Sustainability program, School of Professional Studies.
It may sound odd to say so, but the work the sustainability group at NYCHA is doing is cutting-edge and very exciting. We’re partway through the testing phase of a window-based heat pump product that exists because NYCHA challenged the industry to develop it. If these new heat pumps perform the way we hope they will, it will not only be a boon to NYCHA and other public housing authorities looking to electrify, but we believe it will also offer a lower-cost alternative to market rate buildings as well.
