NetZero Carbon Roadmap for College Campus

NO - college campus is too limited for audience

YES/MAYBE - While I agree that the focus on a college campus might be limiting, I feel there may be some important lessons to learn from the interaction between Owner and Designer when planning for large scale decarbonization. Their proposal is a little vague and doesn't include much information, so in order for me to give an absolute yes, I would need to hear more about it. I think the concept of the session is in the right place.

Yes. College campuses around the state are developing NZ roadmaps/guidelines. Important to hear how U Albany is addressing the complexity of decarbonizing a campus.

Round 1 discussion: - This could be a great resource for other campus projects- Based on one campus but they hope to implement it across other campuses- Deals with historic preservation and other state entities

Round 2: Yes; This session will showcase three building typologies on campus as case studies - a science building, a residential, and an academic building. The buildings focus on historic retrofit. The proposer (the architect) would set up a panel discussion with the energy consultant and owner to discuss their integrative design process. The session will address the following: Walk-through the integrative process (Owner, Architect, Energy consultant) during the design development and construction stage?Defining the base case scenarios?What is the ideal energy-efficient solution?Walk-through of the iterative process to optimize the cost-effective energy-efficient solutionHow can this process set a precedent or an example for historic/campus retrofit? 

Indu in particular is amazing. 

R2 meeting: Owner, architect, and energy consultant perspective. Different building types + historic. Not yet retrofitted to Net Zero, focus on integrated process.
