Join us for a broad look at decarbonization beyond specific systems and equipment, as we consider buildings holistically. We will evaluate design choices across the entire building, as well as the importance of building operations. Attendees of this session will gain insight into industry trends and their implications for buildings, the greening of the grid, regulations, and what is practical over the next 15 years.
