What will the push to “electrify everything” mean for the future of our cities and communities? This panel explores developing trends in the electrification of transportation and buildings with a focus on the public realm and the non-residential built environment. As commercial buildings and campuses electrify heating loads, provide vehicle charging, and integrate renewables and storage, facility managers face new challenges maintaining resiliency, efficiency, and balancing loads. This session explores how advances in artificial intelligence offer new opportunities to support autonomous building operations in an electrified future. On the transportation side, panelists will talk about existing efforts to build out a public charging infrastructure, the role that electrified buses can play in the cities of tomorrow, and new business models that are starting to emerge.
