Programs from the Civic Science Media (CSM) Lab audio studio feature in-depth interviews with diverse experts who share actionable insights from their work on topical issues in civic science from multiple perspectives. The audio format provides guests with an additional way to share new insights, creating a synergistic effect with other programs on the network, on video and digital print.
In this episode, host Kacie speaks with Christopher Matos-Rogers, an Atlanta-based real estate professional who has spent over a decade helping buyers navigate sustainable housing. Christopher shares how he translates building science, energy systems, and policy into practical guidance for everyday homeowners, and why leading with financial benefit rather than environmental ideology has been central to reaching broader audiences. They discuss the equity gaps in green homeownership, the challenge of serving renters alongside buyers, and how Christopher has taken his work into local policy, industry education, and community coalitions. Christopher also reflects on what long-term affordable housing actually requires, beyond the purchase price.
