Proposed Session Description
The built environment generates 40 percent of the annual global CO2 emission. By decarbonising buildings a positive change towards a netzero society is within reach. To accelerate deep energy efficiency retrofits, cities and professionals need better collaboration and international knowledge exchange. During this event, leading experts will exchange ideas on how to leverage building retrofits, while maintaining aesthetics, improve quality of life and at the same time build sustainable.
Why is this session important?
The historic Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) and Local Law 97 climate laws put New York and New York City at the forefront of the building decarbonization industry. As actors across the building and construction industry ramp up to reach compliance goals, it is crucial to understand what is needed to close the gap between building sustainability, aesthetics and the requirements set by Local Law 97.
Diversity and Inclusiveness
This session will provide discussions on how to close the gap between building sustainability, aesthetics and the requirements set by Local Law 97, for creating a more fair and sustainable system.

Anything else you'd like to tell us about your session proposal?
Decarbonizing existing buildings means getting them completely off fossil fuels, but how can we reimagine an existing building and repurposing buildings, and what solutions are needed? The built environment generates 40 percent of annual global CO2 emissions, and it is time for fundamental changes, cross-sectional partnerships and well-tested solutions to get it done.
