Encouraging homeowners to invest in energy efficiency improvements can be challenging, despite the significant potential for reducing residential energy consumption. However, Scope Zero's innovative approach addresses this issue by recognizing homes as workplaces, which now incentivizes employers to support such upgrades due to emissions considerations for remote work. The introduction of the Carbon Savings Account (CSA), akin to FSAs and HSAs, offers a scalable solution to facilitate millions of homeowners in initiating long-delayed upgrades. This episode explores CEO Lizzy Kolar's background, Scope Zero's inception, the targeted problems, recommended home upgrades, the evolving landscape of home improvements, and more.
