    Until recently, only the most innovative architects, engineers, contractors (AEC), developers, and facility managers embraced the development of ultra-efficient, carbon-neutral, grid-integrated, all-electric buildings. New ESG, net zero, and carbon neutral pledges from leading industry trade organizations are accelerating the development of these innovative and critical buildings. USGBC, AIA, ASHRAE, ULI, IFMA, World Resource Institute, World GBC, and other member-based industry organizations, representing nearly a million working professionals, have committed to progressing codes and policies and providing their members with advanced education and design guidance for delivering on high-performance buildings. Hear from market leaders about how their collective impact efforts, as well as other industry commitments, can bring about the changes needed to reduce energy demand and curb carbon emissions while developing a new class of resilient and grid-integrated buildings at scale. This session will describe the efforts being made by building industry professional membership organizations to help facilitate advanced professional practices and support members to advance their practice to catalyze and realize market sector transformation to design, build, operate and renovate carbon-neutral buildings.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Understand the specific strategies and resources leading building industry trade organizations are deploying to support members as they seek to transform their practices and lead building sector decarbonization efforts.
    • Learn how leading building industry trade organizations are collaborating to align and harmonize their building decarbonization resources, education, and advocacy to advanced design, construction, and operations toward building sector transformation.
    • Understand how to engage with your professional trade organization to successfully support their efforts and build a community of practice in your community.
    • Learn about the variety of resources available to enhance professional practice and support clients and staff as they seek to better understand how to achieve building decarbonization.
