Venue Change: Building to Cool the Planet: Beyond "Green" Building
Join us for an eye-opening evening about building materials and design, carbon, and the future!
By 2060, the world is projected to add 2.5 trillion square feet of buildings.* This is the equivalent of adding an entire New York City every 34 days for the next 40 years.
*UN Environment, Global Status Report 2017
With an imperative 20-year time horizon for dramatic action, reducing GHG emissions generated in constructing buildings and other infrastructure is now seen as even more vital than minimizing operational emissions over their lifetimes. We’ve been focused on energy efficiency in the built environment for a long time, but what is embodied carbon and why does it matter so much? New materials, designs and policy will enable buildings and other infrastructure to sequester carbon. Can the built environment be a carbon sponge? A part of the solution instead of part of the problem?
Speakers- Bruce King, founder of the Ecological Building Network (EBNet), is the author of The New Carbon Architecture—Building to Cool the Planet.
- Alice Zanmiller, Planner with the Marin County Sustainability Team, is working on the Bay Area Low Carbon Concrete Project.
- David Arkin, AIA, Principal Arkin-Tilt Architects, has taught and lectured on sustainable design for over 25 years.
