Climate & Community 8/8/24: Bridging Energy Challenges on Unbridged Islands with College of the Atlantic’s Community Energy Center (Part 2)

Host: Brianna Cunliffe

Description: Climate & Community speaks with Director David Gibson and student workers Adler Garner and Uriel Orozco on their ongoing work through the College of the Atlantic’s Community Energy Center, supporting households on the Cranberry Isles with energy audits and upgrades this summer. In the second part of our conversation, we focus on the holistic approaches to energy audits, student experiences building skills in building science, and the importance of efficiency for our energy transition.
