Today's Tech that's Catalyzing Tomorrow's Buildings

Panel
210 D

What should the next-gen building environment look, feel, and sound like? What are the biggest barriers preventing us from getting there? Today’s existing technology can drastically reduce the climate impact of buildings, improve occupant health and well-being, and better prepare for an unpredictable climate. However, the benefits of sustainable buildings have been inequitably distributed and are not being adopted quickly enough. Learn about the innovations that will define tomorrow’s buildings and retrofits, and what it will take to accelerate the scale, scope and speed of change.

Reports to Results: ESG for Commercial Real Estate

Panel
210C

Driven by regulatory and stakeholder pressures, the commercial real estate sector is increasingly devoting resources to ESG reporting. Unfortunately, making sense of the jargon, myriad reporting frameworks, and hype surrounding the topic can make it challenging for practitioners to understand how to make sense of ESG and go beyond “checking the box.”

This session will help real estate professionals manage all of the steps of ESG reporting including collection, managing implementation, and reporting of data. Gain a deeper understanding of each component of “ESG,” as well as how regulations are impacting the real estate investment market. Attendees will gain a better understanding of how their current sustainability efforts fit into ESG reporting and where they may need to turn their attention next.
