Talking About Decarbonization: Battle Lines and Influences
Talking about Decarbonization Series | Session 1: Battle Lines and Influences
Join AIASF COTE and ProspectSV for the first in a series of live-streamed free panel discussions addressing current decarbonization trends at the local, state and federal levels, and how designers are developing low-carbon project solutions through smart early choices and better communications with clients and teams.
In Session 1, we will explore how drivers, including BPS policies, SEC regulations, and building codes, like the new CalGreen embodied carbon regulations, will influence decarbonization projects in the coming years. We will emphasize the impact that initial design choices have on a building's ultimate performance and cost. This session will also cover the practical discussion points that designers will have to face and respond to with their clients. We’ll explore ways that firms can become leaders and develop a company culture centering climate work.
Partners: ProspectSV, Alter Engineers, IDeAs Consulting Inc., BAR Architects & Interiors, Stott Architects, AIA San Francisco.
