Thank you to the Lawrence Journal-World for highlighting this important initiative by the City of Lawrence Environmental Sustainability Advisory Board to tackle the challenge of high energy costs—an issue that disproportionately affects renters, who make up more than half of the city's population.

🔍❓Energy justice and policy professionals — I’d love your take. Should city governments require landlords to disclose annual, building-level energy consumption data through a city-run benchmarking platform?

😇 Excited to head to #2025APPAM in Seattle this November to reconnect with friends 😍, colleagues 👨‍🏫👩‍🏫 , and fellow energy policy nerds 🦸! I'll be presenting two pieces of my dissertation research 📚.
