A’19 | The Emerging Pathway to Resilient, Zero Carbon Design
Heading for glitzy Las Vegas next week to speak at the AIA Conference on Architecture. Joining me on our panel are Bruce King and John Sarter, respectively sharing their expertise on low-carbon and carbon-sequestering building materials, and community energy systems. Panama Bartholomy also will be contributing, albeit in absentia — I’ll be presenting his slides on building decarbonization in addition to my own on residential efficiency and electrification.
Outbound to La Bell’Italia!
I’m flying out today to the toe of the Italian boot — Scilla, Calabria — to speak at SBE19, Policies for a Sustainable Built Environment. My talk, titled “Rebuilding a Community for Sustainability and Resilience,” is about lessons learned through my involvement in greening initiatives following California’s 2017 North Bay fires.
