SUMMARY:Decarbonize Existing Buildings Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Join the BE+ Decarbonize Existing Buildings Alliance hosted monthly roundtable\, a venue for architects\, designers\, construction managers\, and sustainability professionals to discuss issues related to decarbonizing existing buildings.\nReach out to communications@builtenvironmentplus.org with any inquiries\, questions\, or concerns. \nExisting buildings are major contributors to climate change. In 2015\, existing residential and commercial buildings generated 1\,913.3 MMtCO2e\, or 29 percent of total U.S. emissions. To help address this sector\, Built Environment Plus (BE+) with Rethinking Power Management LLC (RPM) are spearheading a coalition of organizations with expertise in GHG reduction and who are committed to supporting decarbonization in existing buildings. \nThis reoccurring monthly gathering is a roundtable which serves as a platform where practitioners and reporting entities can come together to discuss best practices\, technologies\, challenges\, hear information related to the ordinance and its implementation\, etc. \nThe Alliance’s objectives include: \n– Increase awareness of energy disclosure ordinances including BERDO and BEUDO and enhance understanding of requirements.  \n– Provide information and resources to reporting organizations that answer “how do we comply” questions through general and building-sector specific webinars. \n– Engage disadvantaged/underserved communities. \n– Share best practices and lessons learned. \n– Provide resources to building owners to help understand decarbonization pathways and create carbon reduction roadmaps. \n– Work with non-profit partners to provide information about/introductions to established practitioners.  \n \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				*Roundtables are FREE for Built Environment Plus Members. \n**New to the Roundtables?

SUMMARY:Living Future Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Join the BE+ Living Future Roundtable\, a venue for architects\, designers\, construction managers\, and sustainability professionals to discuss topics and issues related to International Living Future Institute (ILFI) programs.\nReach out to livingfuture@builtenvironmentplus.org with any inquiries\, questions\, or concerns. \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				We often talk about the indelible link between climate change and social justice\, but usually we’re speaking in abstract terms – such as how planetary warming will impact the global south. In this month’s conversation\, we’ll bring the focus home by discussing the connection between combustion-sourced heating systems\, the respiratory health of our neighbors in Roxbury\, and how community engagement shaped BERDO 2.0. \nWe’ll be joined by Sofia Owen and Dwaign Tyndal\, who are the Staff Attorney and Executive Director of Alternatives for Community and Environment (ACE). As the BERDO regulations solidify\, Sofia is continuing to engage the community and advocate for the most equitable version of the final regulation language. If you’re eager to dive into this topic\, we’re sharing a skit created by our fellow advocates at One Square World. This video series follows the journey of a renter as she learns about the dangers of building emissions and how taking action to shape policies like BERDO 2.0 can make a difference \n			\n				Watch the Video Here\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Speakers\n				Sofía Owens is ACE’s Senior Attorney and the Director of the Environmental Justice Legal Services Program.
