Moderator Daniel Glenn, AIA, Principal, 7 Directions Architects/Planners and a Native American architect, sets the stage by posing the question: “How can building professionals and their clients respond to the impacts of decarbonization?”

Eileen V. Quigley, Executive Director of the Clean Energy Transition Institute, discusses applying the five pillars of deep decarbonization in Washington State to help accelerate the path to zero-carbon buildings.

Jonathan Heller, President, Ecotope, Inc. takes us on a deep dive into the world of electrification and illustrates how clean energy options were incorporated into several buildings in the Pacific Northwest.

Anyeley Hallova, an equity & sustainability-focused real estate developer, presents a case study of the Meyer Memorial Trust Headquarters in Portland, Oregon, and how the design and process helped achieve its aggressive equity and sustainability goals.
