Grad Students Help Cornwall Tackle Climate Change
As Canadian summers become hotter, the subsidized housing units in Cornwall, Ontario struggle to stay cool with poorly insulated homes and window air conditioners. These same homes are reliant on carbon-emitting natural gas furnaces that are worsening the climate problem.
With more than 100 townhouses needing upgrading, Cornwall turned to students in Carleton’s Sustainable Energy graduate program for help.
“This program is unique in that it’s one of the oldest interdisciplinary programs of its kind that brings together both the policy and technical knowhow needed to develop practical solutions to climate change,” explained Daniel Rosenbloom, the Rosamond Ivey Research Chair in Sustainability Transitions, who led the class. “It marries engineering insights with the policy, social and economic dimensions that equally need to be brought to bear to make those innovations and solutions real, to make them implementable.”
As part of their capstone project, engineering and public policy students collaborated to come up with a plan to retrofit the Cornwall housing project to make it more efficient.
