Watch Season 5 Episode 7: Big Things Are Possible: Scaling Sustainability

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / September 18, 2025 / The journey to a sustainable future is built project by project, idea by idea. That means from small businesses to schools, hospitals and even buildings with their own zip codes.

In this episode, we speak to Dan Palino, Chief Operating Officer of New Water Street Corporation; Scott Lewin, Energy Services Leader at Trane; and Holly Paeper, President of Commercial HVAC Americas at Trane Technologies.

We’ll hear how bold retrofits at 55 Water Street, the largest office building in New York City, are cutting emissions and saving millions.
