9:00 AM - 1:00 PM (Pacific Time)

Within the building industry the need for improving existing structures is greater than ever. Through remodels and retrofits of current building stock we can reach higher efficiencies, reduce our energy dependence, and revitalize the workforce.

There are a number of current opportunities within commercial and residential buildings that can lead to operational savings and environmental benefits. Lighting retrofits and other options considered ‘low-hanging fruit’ are very cost-effective, and when combined with an energy audit can provide significant results. From there other options become apparent such as increasing HVAC efficiency, replacing windows, and utilizing renewable energy. Examine these options and more during this half-day online event where LEED APs and AIA members can earn self-reported Continuing Education credits.

Join Green Building Journal Editor-in-Chief Jenica Egan for this live event, beginning with a 50 minute open panel discussion on the topic of Remodels and Retrofits. Following the panel, individual sessions will focus on topics within green building and design such as sustainable renovation and home performance. You can choose which of the four 50 minute sessions to watch live or come back another day to watch them On-Demand.

5 attendees will receive a copy of Sustainable Preservation: Greening Existing Buildings by Jean Carroon - A $75 value.
