Bright Power and Building Energy Exchange joined forces to launch The Future Housing Initiative—an endeavor to help drive the transition to low-carbon, multifamily housing with real world data and analysis of building performance.
The Future Housing Initiative is aimed at creating a national, equity-centered database of real-world performance data on low-carbon multifamily buildings. It will include important metrics such as the resident quality of life, health, and affordability in addition to data on energy use and carbon emissions. What does this actually mean? That the Future Housing database will clearly center resident experiences of living in the buildings and their priorities as key metrics alongside more typical data points such as building systems and performance.
