Urban Heat Island Community of Practice Webinar Series Continues: "The Power of the Pen: Policies, Standards, Codes, etc"

Urban Heat Island Community of Practice Webinar Series Continues: "The Power of the Pen: Policies, Standards, Codes, etc"

The National Integreated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) and its partners are hosting a webinar series featuring case studies about what happens after communities conduct their urban heat island mapping campaigns. On September 2nd at 3PM EDT, the third of the series, "The Power of the Pen: Policies, Standards, Codes, etc..." will highlight case studies of local government policies, incentives, regulations, and other approaches to help advance the implementation of heat island mitigation measures. Speakers for this event include Courtney Anderson (Net Zero Energy New Buildings and Homes Administrator, Office of Climate Action, Sustainability & Resiliency, City and County of Denver) and Melissa Deas (Acting Chief Resilience Officer, DC Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency). Victoria Ludwig (EPA, Urban Heat Island Reduction Program) will moderate this event. Learn more about the webinars and register for the webinar series here.
