Decarbonizing the Built Environment
When: September 25, 2024 | 1:00 - 5:00 PM ET
Buildings contribute to nearly 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting the crucial opportunity they represent in reaching net-zero emissions. However, according to Forrester, fewer than 20% of companies are currently on course to achieve net-zero by 2050. To tackle this challenge, it’s imperative that organizations embrace an integrated strategy encompassing data analysis, energy efficiency, financial planning, reduction of embodied carbon and the adoption of clean energy sources.
Global sustainability leaders from Johnson Controls, KPMG, Microsoft and Prologis are teaming up with other leading industry professionals for an informative tutorial to help you understand the opportunities and solutions that can deliver an impact, now. Whether you have one facility or a global network of buildings, you will leave with some ideas and immediate steps you can take to achieve net zero buildings.

Data & AI: Transforming Buildings to Accelerate the Climate Action
Building a strong foundation of reliable sustainability data is key to driving effective climate strategies through data-driven insights, as well as establishing consistent reporting. The evolution of AI has presented a multitude of opportunities to supercharge existing sustainability data, uncover those insights faster, and accelerate both climate strategies and energy savings.
Energy Transition: The Critical Role of Smart Buildings
As buildings and cities evolve, modern infrastructure in smart buildings plays a crucial role in enhancing efficiency through integrated and advanced energy solutions. Hear about decarbonization through efficiency, electrification and digitalization including the latest work on GIO and the evolving offerings from energy suppliers.
Embodied Carbon: The Path to Net Zero Buildings
Achieving Net Zero Buildings typically focuses on operational energy consumption. However, reducing embodied carbon in construction and retrofit materials is essential to truly reach net zero. How can you track and reduce embodied carbon in your buildings? What technologies and sourcing options are available today and in the future?
Decarbonizing Real Estate: Managing Facilities for a Sustainable Future
Landlords and building owners play a pivotal role in decarbonizing the built environment. How can split incentives and standardized practices across 3PL, facility management, and building ownership advance decarbonization of operations and transportation. A systems approach to real estate and facilities management drives meaningful progress in reducing emissions and achieving sustainability goals.
