SUMMARY:Housing and Climate with Dan Ruben
DESCRIPTION:We need to think about the intersection of climate change and housing beyond our HVAC systems. \nHow does climate change affect housing costs\, particularly in the face of growing migration? \nHow does housing affect climate change\, particularly as we seek to build new units? How can changes to zoning laws affect greenhouse gas emissions and save trees? \nDan Ruben teaches Sustainable Hospitality and Sustainable Tourism at Boston University and the University of Southern Maine. He wrote the textbook\, “Sustainable Hospitality.” \nDan founded a sustainable hotel organization\, Boston Green Tourism\, in 2005 and led it until 2019. In that role\, he organized over 100 sustainable hotel workshops and webinars for local\, state\, and U.S. hoteliers. Dan was the 2014 Sustainable Lodging Person of the Year. Boston Green Tourism earned an EPA Environmental Merit Award. \nPreviously\, Dan was the executive director of the Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Conventions\, which implemented environmental best practices at the 2004 Democratic and Republican National Conventions. CERC won the international Environmentally Responsible Meeting Award and two EPA awards. \nDan is the Chair of Green Newton. He leads its Building Standards Committee which persuaded developers to build Passive House\, all-electric\, low embodied carbon developments\, and persuaded the City of Newton to upgrade its sustainability requirements for new buildings.
