Bringing it home: Communities learn to build quality, energy-efficient housing – National Observer
February 12th 2024
Corey Cote-Diabo calls housing energy efficiency the “unseen” battleground of the climate crisis. Energy efficiency is not visible like a solar project. Instead, it’s hidden like centralized piping in a home that is properly sealed and ventilated.
“It’s much cheaper to save a kilowatt than to produce a kilowatt, so energy efficiency is the natural first step,” Cote-Diabo said about energy efficiency’s role in the climate transition.
Cote-Diabo helped develop the Project Accelerator program that trains Indigenous community members to become leaders in energy-efficiency housing projects.
