ULI New York: The Carbon Sweet Spot: Tradeoffs between Embodied Carbon and Operating Carbon
All refunds must be requested no later than May 20th, 2024.
Is this the solution to reducing whole life carbon? Designing buildings to operate on reduced energy and carbon is essential in reaching net zero goals for all stakeholders. However, certain design choices, such as façades, can unintentionally increase a building's upfront embodied carbon.
A forthcoming new report commissioned by ULI and made possible by a generous donation from Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) in the name of the late A. Eugene Kohn (ULI Life Trustee and KPF Co-Founder), explores design decisions and tradeoffs for creating low carbon buildings from design through construction to end-of-life. This event begins with a presentation of the report’s findings by representatives of the research team from ULI Randall Lewis Center for Sustainability in Real Estate in collaboration with KPF and the University of Washington's Integrated Design Lab.
A reaction panel of real estate experts will follow the report presentation. Attendees will gain insights on key decarbonization approaches, applications, processes, and building materials, in addition to their carbon savings payback. Other areas to be explored include avoiding renovation and improvement pitfalls; making decarbonization projects pencil; and future regulations that may influence developers, architects and public sector officials in decision making. This is your opportunity to hear key industry information first, and to participate in an immediate, real-time reaction event.
