Listen: Net-Zero to Housing Hero with Lois Arena of Steven Winter Associates

In this episode of the AEC Podcast, we talk to Lois Arena, senior mechanical engineer with Steven Winter Associates and internationally-recognized passive house expert, who says she’s seeing multi-family affordable housing emerge as a market leader in net-zero building construction. “They own their building for the life of the building so the financial incentive really makes sense for them,” Arena says.
