multifamily housing innovations network

multifamily housing innovations network

The Connecticut Multifamily Housing Innovations Network is a group of multifamily housing stakeholders supported by the Connecticut Green Bank and focused on improving the performance, sustainability, affordability and resilience of multifamily housing across the state. Network participants include multifamily housing owners and developers, energy consultants, community organizations, government agencies, financing organizations, utility representatives, architects, engineers and other stakeholders.

The purpose of the Network is to provide a forum where participants can:

  • discuss critical issues impacting the development and delivery of multifamily housing;
  • explore new technologies and design, construction and operations strategies;
  • review best practice case studies; and
  • share practical, on-the-ground information based on their own experiences.

The goal of all these activities is to help Network members accelerate the development and deployment of sustainable, high performance multifamily housing across Connecticut.

The Multifamily Housing Innovations Network meets the third Friday of each month from 11:30 am to 1 pm (previously in-person, now virtually).  A typical meeting includes a presentation on a topic of interest followed by lively discussions among the participants on how to apply the information presented to their own practices.  Upcoming meetings and their presentation topics are listed below.  The Previous Meeting Presentations archive provides recorded versions of Network meetings going back to 2017.

Please contact us to join the Network and participate in future meetings.
