In the premier episode of Sustainable Westchester's podcast "Conversations in Clean Energy," host Radina Valova explores the efficacy of clean heating & cooling technologies in affordable housing and the resulting benefit for the low-to-moderate income communities in which they can be found.  

With her guests Spencer Orkus, Managing Director, Affordable Housing, L+M Development Partners Zach Fink, Principal, ZBF Geothermal and Jennifer Leone, Chief Sustainability Officer, New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development, host  Radina focuses specifically on Beach Green Dunes in the Rockaways, a beachfront urban community just over 20 miles from Manhattan.   

The project stands as a successful model for innovation, collaboration and the uses of clean heating technology for building resilience in low-to-moderate income communities. The discussion will focus on the role of the New York State Housing Preservation and Development, the property developer and technology provider and installer. Topics will include planning, siting, financing and development -- positives, challenges and implications. 

This episode was produced in collaboration with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), who serves as a catalyst – advancing energy innovation, technology, and investment; transforming New York's economy; and empowering people to choose clean and efficient energy as part of their everyday lives. The episode was sponsored by WaterFurnace, a leader in clean heating & cooling technologies.
