In this episode of the Passive House Podcast, Jay Fox talks with Nakita Reed, Senior Director for Preservation Operations at the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund. Nakita discusses her new role bridging preservation, equity, and sustainability, the Action Fund's work funding projects like conserving Black modernism and stewarding sites such as Nina Simone's childhood home, and the ongoing tension between historic commissions and building owners pursuing energy retrofits. The conversation dives into practical guidance for practitioners tackling historic building and closes with a look at where the field is headed as deep energy retrofits of historic buildings become more routine.
