Decarbonization Now! >>> Existing & Historic Buildings & Infrastructure

Join us October 21–22 for a two-day virtual symposium hosted by the Zero Net Carbon Collaboration (ZNCC), bringing together leaders across policy, preservation, design, and construction to tackle one urgent question:

We have the data & tools—how do we urgently scale up decarbonization now?

Dates & Times

• Tuesday, October 21 & Wednesday, October 22

• 12:00 – 2:00 PM EST each day (4 hours total)

• Virtual | $25 registration (or pay-what-you-can)

What to Expect

• Moderated discussions and panels with experts from AIA, CLF, ICOMOS, CAHP, RAIC, APT, PHA, A2030, and more.

• Cross-sector dialogue connecting preservation, reuse, embodied carbon, housing, landfills, finance, codes, and policy.

• Insights into how heritage and existing buildings can drive deep green retrofits, electrification, and the shift from 1% to 4% annual retrofit rates.

• Opportunities, barriers, and innovations shaping the future of decarbonization.

You’ll leave with fresh perspectives, practical resources, and new connections to break down silos and accelerate climate action across the built environment.
