How can we decarbonize our existing buildings and homes?
This lecture from MIT OpenCourseWare examines the climate challenge by shifting focus from the global planet to the individual home. Through a specific case study, it explores practical pathways for reducing carbon within our building stocks.
Presented by Christoph Reinhart of the MIT Sustainable Design Lab, the session uses a New England home as a case study to investigate thermal energy transformation. Part of the MIT RES.ENV-007 course on Geothermal Energy Networks, the material explores how we might transition our thermal energy systems to meet climate goals by addressing the carbon footprint of individual residential structures.
