Join ULI-Idaho and several industry partners discussing net zero practices and sustainability initiatives.
We have developed a wide range of resources and discussion topics to help ULI members and the broader real estate and land use community better understand the business case for a path to net zero.
We will recap the half-day Sustainability Conference ULI held in Boise, and have speakers and presentations on the business case for sustainability, whats being done in our region, and mass timber efforts.
ULI Idaho is excited to welcome three speakers for this program:
- National keynote speaker Billy Grayson, who will start things off with a net zero and sustainability overview, looking at what is being done nationally and our region, and explore tools to help operationalize sustainability in your community, projects, and portfolios.
- Molly McCabe will speak from a regional perspective, and speak to the business case around sustainability efforts and how to pull together the right team and partners
- Kate Carrigg will speak on whats being done with mass timber and sustainability
ULI-Idaho will offer an optional social hour following program.
As our hope is to inclusively engage both new and existing leaders in the area, this in-person program is open to any ULI member and non-members.
Detail of keynote session topic:
Real Estate and the Race to Net Zero Carbon, Billy Grayson
Developing a path to net zero carbon has become a priority for investors, tenants, cities, and the real estate industry. Responding to a stakeholder call to action, real estate leaders are accelerating their progress to net zero through a deeper investment in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and new partnerships with the construction industry to tackle the embodied carbon in building materials. This session will cover the major drivers of real estate decarbonization, and lay out the new business case for reducing carbon to build real estate value
...BONUS TOUR: Attendees from this program are invited to join ULI Idaho on a tour of Mercer Mass Timber in Spokane on Wednesday 3/8 at 9:00am. This tour
is complimentary with your event registration- let us know if you'd like to join!
