Buildings are connected resources of a larger built environment. Buildings lock in substantial carbon emissions through material choices and continue to emit carbon during their operations throughout life. Building design decisions made now will be responsible for carbon emissions for the next several decades. The webinar provided an overview of the future of carbon-neutral design, ideas & strategies to enable a shift from energy efficiency to sophisticated ways to think holistically on a regional scale.
