Webinar: Taking Ownership of a Sustainable Future
Zoom
Event Details
The increasing challenges created by climate change, from wildfires to floods to extreme heat, have created greater urgency for more sustainable construction, and building owners have a vital role to play in transforming the built environment. A recent global study by Dodge Data & Analytics reveals that owners who engage in these efforts not only help to address these critical issues, but they also experience powerful benefits to their own organizations. Join Donna Laquidara-Carr, Ph.D., LEED AP, Industry Insights Research Director at Dodge Data & Analytics as she explores the top findings of the study, including how the US compares to other nations in its sustainability efforts, the business benefits of building green, the drivers to increase these efforts and the top emerging trends in sustainability both in the U.S. and globally.
Learning objectives:
- Learn how owners around the globe are making their projects more sustainable and benchmark your performance against theirs.
- Better understand the business benefits derived from building green and how they can impact your building projects.
- Learn what can drive additional commitment to the green building across the supply chain to help encourage greater engagement with green on your building projects.
- Be aware of the top trends emerging in green building to help determine your strategic vision for increasing the sustainability of your projects moving forward.
