Housing and the Future: Synergy Between Sustainability and Affordability

With: Charlotte Lin, Town of Avon; Patti Liermann Housing Planner, Town of Avon

Category: Optimize & Electrify Buildings

Two years ago, Avon set a bold vision for low-carbon buildings, transportation, and land use. Today, that vision is becoming reality. This session explores how net zero housing, reduced commutes, and healthy living environments align with climate action plans. The session will also address overcoming the financial and partnership challenges along the way. We\u2019ll share the path for sustainable and affordable housing development that other communities can replicate. It is possible to balance cost, sustainability, and livability without compromise.

This is a session from the Mountain Towns 2030 Climate Summit in Breckridge, Colorado in October, 2025.
