🔥 COOLING THE BLOCK: Extreme Heat, Energy Efficiency & Climate Justice Webinar- Thursday, October 1, 2026 at 12p.m. EST

Thursday, October 1, 2026 | 12:00 p.m. ET

How does extreme heat connect to the buildings we live in, our energy bills, our health, and climate justice?

Join us for Cooling the Block, an interactive training and community conversation exploring how extreme heat affects our homes and neighborhoods—and how energy efficiency can be part of the solution.

Where we live—and the investments that have or have not been made in our neighborhoods—can shape how we experience climate change. Poor insulation, inefficient heating and cooling systems, aging buildings, high utility costs, and limited access to energy upgrades can make it harder and more expensive for families to stay safe and comfortable during periods of extreme heat.

During this training, we'll explore:

• 🏠 Buildings & Extreme Heat: How housing conditions can increase or reduce exposure to dangerous indoor temperatures.

• 💡 Energy Efficiency: How insulation, air sealing, efficient appliances, heat pumps, weatherization, and other improvements can help homes stay cooler while using less energy.

• 💵 Energy Costs: Why inefficient homes can lead to higher utility bills and greater energy burdens.

• ❤️ Health: How extreme heat and unhealthy indoor conditions can affect residents, particularly those most vulnerable to heat-related illness.

• 🌎 Climate Justice: Why historically underserved communities can experience greater heat exposure and fewer investments in healthy, energy-efficient buildings.

• 🗣️ Community Solutions: What residents and advocates can do to advance healthier, more affordable, climate-resilient neighborhoods.

Most importantly, we want this to be a conversation.

We'll share information and resources, but we also want to hear from you. What are you seeing and experiencing in your community? How are extreme heat and high energy costs affecting residents? What solutions are needed?

Join us Thursday, October 1 at 12:00 p.m. ET for Cooling the Block.

Come ready to learn, share, and connect the dots between extreme heat, energy efficiency, healthy homes, affordability, and climate justice.
