Good Standing
Instructional: David Bergman, Founding Board Member of NYC2030 on Household Energy Efficiency Tips.
We could all do more to become more energy efficient, which reduces emissions and improves the environment. Yet many of us don't because we either aren't familiar with what we can do, or we don't see the impact of those actions making a difference at scale. This course and the broader campaign for collective climate action, are designed to directly address those issues and help us all start taking simple, everyday steps that can add up in measurable, impactful, healthy ways.David Bergman is an architect, LEED Accredited Professional, Certified Passive House Designer, and EcoOptimist. He runs a multidisciplinary design studio applying sustainable and eco design principles to architecture, interiors, and product design. He is a founding board member of NYC2030, a public-private partnership working to reduce emissions in New York City's built environment, and one of Good Standing's first partners demonstrating collective action campaigns for positive climate action.Bergman is Program Director of the Master of Professional Studies in Sustainable Interior Environments at the New York School of Interior Design, and adjunct faculty at Parsons School of Design, where he developed core sustainable design courses for four departments. He previously taught at Yale University and the Fashion Institute of Technology.In this course, Bergman walks through simple energy measures any of us can take, and makes the case for why they move the needle at scale.
