Pilot program aims to bring energy efficient stoves to NYCHA housing

NEW YORK -- A new pilot program in New York City will help to bring energy efficient stoves to those in NYCHA housing.

NYCHA's Induction Stove Challenge calls on appliance manufacturers to design and build electric cooking systems to replace existing fossil fuel stoves.

Manufacturers will be asked to submit proposals that include innovative solutions and provide product designs that can be installed in older buildings.

The program is expected to launch this fall. Click here for more information.
