Proposed Session Description
Much of the building stock that will need to undergo electrification in the coming decade is composed of relatively small multifamily and class C office buildings, which serve an important function in providing naturally occurring affordable housing and low-cost office spaces for small and mid-sized businesses. Is the construction services market that serves this segment of the industry ready for electrification? What new business models are needed to serve these buildings at a large scale, while maintaining their affordability?
Why is this session important?
(pls see above!)
Diversity and Inclusiveness
My thesis is that many of these buildings are in communities of color, and the service providers who would work on them are MWBEs or small contractors with roots in those communities. Will those folks get the resources they need to do this work?
Learning Objectives
Understand the potential impact of retrofitting the middle of the market
Understand the business constraints of operating middle-market buildings (as owners) and renovating them (as contractors)
Learn about new service delivery models designed for the middle market
Learn about the role of MWBE businesses in the middle market
Has this session been presented before?
