To meet Massachusetts’ goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, 2040 and 2050, we need to replace our fossil-fuel appliances, including heating/cooling systems, with electric ones as they wear out. When an appliance dies, it is almost always at a time when we need to act immediately. A good plan ensures that we replace appliances before they die, thus avoiding costly last-minute decisions, and at worst, installing another fossil-fuel model.
Edith Buhs will walk us through the planning process, identifying the most critical items to replace and when to do so, providing guidance on useful planning tools, and identifying resources for unique personal situations. We’ll leave the session with a scratch plan and some action items.
As Training Manager and Decarbonization Advisor at Abode Energy Management, Edith helps to capture innovation and share it through training and building up new skills in staff and program partners to keep them current with the ever-evolving realm of residential electrification. Edith is also the lead trainer for Rewiring America’s Electric Coach Course, where she’s helping build a nationwide team of volunteers who guide neighbors through the process of electrifying their homes. Edith holds an MPA from Harvard Kennedy School and a BA in Psychology from the University of Illinois.
