Ever notice how new words or phrases continually slide into our social vocabulary? Here are a few examples that pertain to energy and buildings: Sustainability, energy justice, climate justice, beneficial electrification and decarbonization.
Some of these terms are quite “malleable” when it comes to their intended meaning. “Climate justice” is one such term — at least for me. Ask ten people who frequently use this phrase in their writings and presentations exactly what it means, and I suspect you will get quite a range of answers depending on each person’s world view, career position and political inclination.
