POUA Asset Manager Co-Chair for Mass. Energy Equity Working Group at the Energy Efficiency Advisory Council (EEAC)

The mission of the Planning Office for Urban Affairs (POUA) is to serve as a catalyst for social justice through its work in housing development and neighborhood revitalization. POUA’s Asset Manager, Mary Wambui, will be co-chairing the Massachusetts Energy Equity Working Group at the Energy Efficiency Advisory Council (EEAC), and her work is another way for POUA to effect social justice. The Equity Working Group was established by the EEAC following completion of the Non-participant Study, which found that the energy efficiency programs do not serve every customer equitably. In convening a working group, the council agreed to identify new strategies for increasing equitable participation among underserved communities across the Commonwealth. Massachusetts is the national leader in energy efficiency, and working to lead in energy justice efforts as well.

Mary will also be presenting at the Virtual BuildingEnergy Boston Conference on August 14th 2020. The BuildingEnergy Boston Conference + Trade Show is an event designed by and for practitioners in the fields of high-performance building and design, energy efficiency, and renewable energy. Mary Wambui will speak on Expanding Access to Clean Energy in Affordable Housing along with three other industry experts.
