As Corvallis transitions to a sustainable energy future, we all need to adopt the motto of Habitat for Humanity: “Working together to make decent homes achievable for everyone in our community.”
Energy efficiency is relatively straightforward in new construction, but most of Corvallis housing is older, built to a less efficient standard than is required today. This week's event will investigate the incentives for upgrading that are available to diverse income and housing groups, as well as explore further opportunities to make Corvallis housing more sustainable.
