Some of the largest residential solar panel installations in the U.S. have been funded with Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTCs). Join us as Aaron Koffman, Director of Affordable Housing at The Hudson Companies, discusses how LIHTCs in combination with other incentives delivered a fast payback and brought long-term affordability to energy costs at his Gateway and Dumont Green developments. Andrew McNamara, Vice President of Renewable Energy at Bright Power, will interview Aaron and take your questions as well.

As awareness of sustainable building is growing many are focusing on the more conspicuous elements that can be involved: solar panels, wind turbines, green roofs…the list goes on.  Despite their utility in creating interest, any sustainability consultant worth his salt will tell you that none of these should even be considered until you’ve tightened your building’s shell or your just throwing good money after bad.  Once your building is weatherized it’s important to monitor its performance so you can see the benefits involved and make sure they last.
