The Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future at Boston University held the first Pardee House Seminar of the academic year, “The Future of Urban Housing: Enhancing Energy Efficiency,†on September 17, 2014. [...]Panelists included BU professors Robert K. Kaufmann (Earth & Environment) and Michael Gevelber (Mechanical Engineering), and Pardee Research Fellow Enrique Silva (Lincoln Institute of Land Policy), who served as moderator. The panelists work together on the Madison Park Housing Energy Efficiency research project, a collaborative of the BU Sustainable Neighborhoods Lab and the Madison Park Development Corporation. The Pardee Center serves as the administrative home of this effort.
The project began in 2012 with the goal of improving energy efficiency in an affordable urban housing complex called Madison Park in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston. This seminar focused on the work the researchers have done over the past two years, developing a baseline understanding of energy consumption and efficiency in Madison Park through monitoring of energy equipment and systems as well as interviews with residents and observations of their habits related to energy use.
