Lecture: The Open Window: Getting to Energy Efficiency in Existing Buildings

9:26 PM EDT on May 29, 2007

A lecture by Michael Bobker of the CUNY Institute for Urban Systems.

This is part of the CUNY Climate Change Science Lecture Series and Exhibition on Governors Island.

CUNY is proud to present its second annual science lecture series and science exhibition on Governors Island. The exhibition will be open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays, starting June 2 and ending September 2. These events are part of a nation wide effort led by Focus the Nation, which will coordinate faculty and students at U.S. colleges, universities, and high schools to engage in a nationwide discussion centered around the theme of "Stabilizing the Climate in the 21st Century."
