In the face of seemingly insurmountable odds that the climate crisis is a foregone conclusion (it's not!), why do industry professionals continue to fight the battles to fill the world with new high performance buildings and deep energy retrofits? How do small companies that are only building a couple homes at a time manage the immense stress and maintain a healthy professional and personal balanced wellbeing? What keeps these climate crisis warriors sane on a daily, monthly, yearly basis? For professionals tackling the larger multi-family projects, how do they retain focus and push through longer project schedules with the same enthusiasm they started the project with. The “solutions” could be industry related or not. Maybe some presenters find continuing education as vehicle to stay encouraged by the latest and greatest industry advances. Presenters could share quick techniques and or resources for yoga, meditation, charitable organization volunteering connections, etc.
