AIA Seattle presents a VIRTUAL SUMMIT on April 21:
ACTION NOW: ACCELERATING PATHWAYS TO DECARBONIZATION
4 webinars (830am-5pm PT; choose one or more): 6.5 LU/HSWs available
For many years, our focus as a professional association has been on reducing or eliminating operating carbon from new buildings. But the significant scale and urgent timeframe of our climate crisis demand interventions that are broad and immediate, and that recognize decarbonization is directly correlated to health, safety, and equity in our communities.
Considering: 1) Reducing embodied carbon in new construction, including the construction process; 2) Electrification of buildings; and 3) Retrofitting existing buildings, this year's thought leadership summit will explore high-impact actions in policy and practice that make actionable differences in atmospheric carbon over the next five years.
What are the data-driven interventions that will pay the highest dividends immediately, and what will position us to stay on the path to 2030 targets and net-zero 2050? What are the regulatory and financial frameworks necessary to support this scale and urgency?
