Tackling built stock - Carbon reduction options for existing facade glazing

MAYBE - definitely an interesting topic. There are not enough details in this proposal description to understand how revolutionary these 'effective means' are. Although, the notion of 'time value of carbon' caught my eye. This is an emerging success metric that hints to a potentially very interesting session.Not sure how this could qualify in the category of 'energy production and storage'

MAYBE - not really clear what solutions they are referring to, nor the "tools" to measure embodied vs operational carbon - to focus on reducing carbon primialy.  This is a good framing, a whole carbon picture, but its not clear what they mean yet.  Suggest getting more information.  Seems like knowledgable and experienced speakers though, has potential.   If this is only about windows, then the topic may be too narrow.

Round 1 discussion: - Interesting as a topic- does not mention how/ what technology is used- it is an existing building- including embodied carbon in double versus triple glazing would be helpful.- might be a product pitch

Round 2: Yes (Maybe)- This session focuses on the research and analysis of product engineering (Glass). 1. How can glass play a role in decarbonization (esp. in Windows and facade glazing) 2. How can the glass be engineered or designed to meet the energy efficiency, and local energy code (ex. local law 97, etc) 3. Case studies comparing modeled results and actual performance on the following parameters used during Product weight double/ triple glazing - reduction in embodied carbon Thickness & weight Overall impact on the project cost cost saving strategies in retrofittingBuilding usage/ underperforming buildings/windows Vision area of the window to generate the electricity - uses sun’s energy to use electricity- grid electrification ROI 4.

Would be more impactful if they tied to the federal green procurement pilot project that defines embodied carbn reduciton goals for concrete, glass, steel and asphalt.
