Alexis Abramson, dean of Columbia University's Climate School and an expert in energy efficiency, has dedicated her career to the study of heat. She emphasizes that while heat is essential in daily life, it is often marginalized in energy discussions. Her background includes pivotal roles in energy-efficient building initiatives under the Obama Administration. In a recent Q&A, Abramson shares insights on the mechanics of heat pumps, the significance of energy efficiency, and practical steps homeowners can take to reduce their carbon footprint and energy bills.
Abramson emphasizes the importance of heat energy, stating, 'Everyone connects with heat in some way... Yet heat is sort of the black sheep of the energy family.'
