E3 - Energy and Efficiency with Emily is building science, architecture, and female entrepreneurship. Welcome to Season 2: We are very excited to be starting off February talking about Climate. What could be better - it’s the worst weather month in all of Maine - but it’s a reminder - if we do nothing - Maine will have Virginia’s climate in 2050. What will it be like to have warm waters and no snow? How will that affect our eco-systems? This week I had the pleasure of talking with another architect, Betty Reyes, who practices in Florida. Maybe it’s this cold weather, or the fact that people are flocking to Florida in droves, but Florida’s climate is fascinating to me. It’s so completely different then Maine. They have so much moisture, cooling not heating, hurricanes, and a significantly higher water table. It was a pleasure talking to Betty I learned so much about her climate zone and their approach to building better in Florida.
