Webinar Apr 22: Zero Emissions Retrofit Opportunities and Roadblocks

View Calendar
04/22/2022 12:00 PM - 04/22/2022 1:00 PM
This presentation will review the state of the art in multifamily retrofits. The goal is to eliminate emissions, thereby eliminating climate policy risk. What if natural gas became 10 times more expensive? What if gas stoves no longer complied with the state sanitary code? Better to address these issues preemptively. We will share our best knowledge of:
  • Insulation and air sealing.
  • Windows and doors.
  • Heat pump water heaters.
  • Minisplit pros and cons (air source heat pumps).
  • Ground source heat pumps.
  • The difficulty with ducts.
  • The difficulty with drop-in boiler replacement, and
  • The magnetic appeal of induction cooking.
Attendees will leave knowing why retrofits are harder than new construction, but also what to do about it.

This presentation will be given by Doug Quattrochi, Executive Director, MassLandlords, Inc. Doug was a founding member of MassLandlords in 2013. He became the association's first Executive Director under new bylaws in 2014. Since then, he has scaled the organization from a core of 160 members in Worcester to approximately 2,500 dues paying businesses from Pittsfield to the Cape, and from an all-volunteer team to approximately 20 full and part-time staff plus 50 volunteers. Doug has been instrumental in advancing democratic governance mechanisms, including score voting for policy priorities and a staggered and democratically elected Board of Directors. Doug also oversees the RentHelper spin-off, which is expanding access to electronic banking for those of us who are unbanked or underbanked. Prior to MassLandlords, Doug held leadership roles in various Massachusetts startups, two of which are still operating. Doug holds a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

"Doug always holds very informative classes full of substance and Very organized!" -Thomas
"Thanks to you Doug, and all who worked on this presentation, as it is obvious that a lot went into it, as you said. It was much to digest, but your presentation of the information, and especially your opinions throughout, aided the translation. Also, your answers to member's questions afterward, regarding recommendations, were most helpful. Always a pleasure." -Liz
