What do zero-carbon buildings look like in 2020 and beyond – i.e. Are we able to achieve embodied and operational carbon net-zero in 2020? What are the necessary considerations when planning a net-zero building or facility? And, how do these differ between newly constructed buildings and existing buildings?
Furthermore, how do we address the gap between design and the operational performance in green buildings? How does monitoring, data & analytics and assist to address the performance gap?
On the technology side, how do building owners and managers viably level out building energy supply and demand through the implementation of energy efficiency and low carbon technologies and effectively monitor their performance? What opportunities exist for energy service companies to provide the services and incentives to assist building owners move toward net-zero?
