With more than half of humanity living in cities, urban centers are key actors for climate change. Climate change represents a major threat for many cities that will have to face a range of impacts from the consequences of the changing climate (sea level rise, increased frequency of extreme weather events, heat waves, etc.). However, the threats brought by climate change can also represent an opportunity and many cities are already taking action to become climate resilient by both decreasing their emissions and by preparing to mitigate the future impacts of climate change.

Please join Skyline Innovations and CEO Zach Axelrod, as well as event co-host WNC Community Preservation Partners and President Anand Kannan, as we unveil our newest low-income solar water heating system in California at Coral Wood Court Apartments. This financed system provides guaranteed energy savings to the host low-income housing community, versus standard utility rates, and offers a glimpse into the future mainstream appeal and growth potential of the California solar thermal industry. We will also highlight other energy efficiency actions the building has employed.

“Net zero energy buildings” is the latest buzz phrase in the building community, but who has built one and how do we get to zero? This session gathers a stellar panel of speakers (listed below) to share several short 18 minute “TED style” case studies on successful high performance NZE buildings with information shared on the energy conservation measures (ECM’s) employed on each project. Other discussion topics include: curbing consumption, increasing efficiency, driving occupant behavior, and the relationship between NZE buildings and green building rating systems including LEED and the Living Building Challenge.
