The built environment includes any physical place designed and/or constructed by humans. It comprises all the physical parts of where we live, including our homes, the buildings where we work and socialize, hospitals, schools, our streets, open spaces and infrastructure.
OUR INTERPRETATION
In this quarter, BlocPower hired local staff. Due to a special NYSEG incentive only available until Fall 2023 ("Gas Kicker" added to the Clean Heat Program for “gas-constrained” areas), there is a short-term focus on non-residential buildings. They have electrified their first property, Gimme Coffee, and have two other properties in progress. BlocPower has been offering weatherization upgrades to residents. The Scorecard team would like to see BlocPower publish an electrification plan that would inform the public and provide a path for other groups to support the electrification process (e.g. workforce development).
