Buildings are responsible for almost half (48%) of all energy consumption and green house gas emissions annually; globally the percentage is even greater. To meet the 2030° Challenge, we must not only design high-performance and carbon-neutral buildings and developments, but also advocate for incentives and actions that will ensure that all buildings and developments meet these targets as well. Ed Mazria will bring his message that without the cooperation of the design and building community in this effort, the crisis of global warming will become worse and irreparable.
