SUMMARY:Getting to Zero National Forum Recap
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT OUR RECAP\nNot able to make it to the Getting to Zero conference? No worries\, join Henrietta Davis (former mayor of Cambridge) and Kate Bubriski (Director of Sustainability at Arrowstreet) for their key takeaways on where the national net-zero market is going and other details from the conference. \nABOUT THE GETTING TO ZERO NATIONAL FORUM\nRocky Mountain Institute (RMI) and New Buildings Institute (NBI) are once again joining forces to bring you the premier global event dedicated to defining the future of low energy and zero energy (ZE) buildings. \nZE has captured the imagination of building professionals and energy efficiency advocates as a path to transform the built environment. Nearly all those surveyed believe ZE will be mainstream by 2050. The Getting to Zero National Forum is a platform for changemakers working to realize that vision. \nForum attendees will share perspectives on the growth of ZE\, discuss the policies driving new projects\, engage in best practices for successful outcomes and collaborate on opportunities for ZE to become the standard for the built environment.

SUMMARY:Advocacy Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Legislation and policy drives our industry\, but who drives changes in legislation and law? \nJoin our Advocacy committee as they interpret\, suggest updates to\, and advocate for advances in laws and policy related to green buildings. All are welcome to join in this high-level discussion. \n\nGeneral Questions: How can this committee reach out and build value for practitioners and the larger community? How can we accommodate both detailed issue-based discussions as well as more inviting\, general discussions for new members?\n\nConnecting our priorities to other national/local legislative agendas (USGBC\, ILFI) \nRoles on Committee\, General Communication\, Decision Making\n\nWe look forward to seeing you there!\nHere is some background on what the Chapter has been working on recently:\nWe are still tracking our current priorities::\n\nPACE Clean Energy Financing – we were victorious in attaining PACE for Massachusetts in 2016! Now: how can we bring this new tool to bear on green building projects throughout the Commonwealth?\nNet Zero Energy building code – how can we shift the conversation on codes? How can we support municipalities who are leading – like Cambridge with their Net Zero Action Plan?\nNet Metering Improvements – we were able to engineer reform of net metering in 2016\, but we know it was a temporary fix. How do we position our advocacy efforts to ensure we see progress in early 2017?\n\nAlso\, we are tracking other initiatives including:\n\nBuilding Energy Benchmarking (BERDO & BEUDO)\nThe MA “Stretch Code” for energy efficiency\nThe greening of the MLS and the residential market transformation\nEnergy efficiency education
