Panel Description:
The trend in high performance design now positions LEED as the minimum standard. The next generation of high performance buildings will aim to be carbon neutral, achieve net zero energy, zero water, and zero waste. Enabled by advanced engineering, material ingenuity, lower costs for dynamic modeling software, 3D imaging and 3D fabrication, advanced green buildings are already changing the markets. This panel of experts in architectural design, engineering, real estate development, and renewable energy will explore the future of high performance design, including innovations such as distributed energy generation and highly adaptable infrastructure.
