Episode 049 – Do You Believe in Change? – Climate Change that Is

August 16, 2023

Lindsay Liu of Super Software joins Realty Speak as my co-host with City University of New York Building Performance Lab Project Manager Jim Lane as our guest.

We talk about the impending enforcement of the NYC climate laws and how this will impact all buildings across the state and city.

After listening you will have a better understanding of what to expect around your particular situation.

You’ll also know what resources are available to you and how you, as an individual, a building owner, a building manager or a member of a condominium or a cooperative board can be part of the solution to climate change.
