The 2030 Districts Network is offering an education session that will take an in depth look at building performance standards.  As more jurisdictions pass standards or are exploring doing so, this will have a profound impact on real estate assets.  We have assembled a panel of experts to discuss the topic and explore both the genesis of the idea as well as the implications.  We will leave time for Q&A.

Speakers:

Kim Cheslak, Senior Technical Advisor, Building Energy Codes Program, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Marshall Duer-Balkind, Director of Policy Programs, Institute for Market Transformation

Emily Salzburg, Managing Director Building Standards and Performance, State of Washington

Devon Stopps, Senior Engineer, Public Energy Initiatives, Existing Buildings, City of Toronto

Kim will discuss the science and Marshall will discuss the policy behind building performance standards. Emily and Devon both represent jurisdictions implementing standards and will discuss their experiences on the ground working with various constituents throughout the process.

A certificate of attendance is available for 2 continuing education credits for self-reporting for professional engineers, USGBC and other eligible self-reporting accreditation bodies.

Cost:

$25 for individuals whose organization is a member of any local 2030 District in North America

$30 for non-members

Students attend for free
