Webinar about "Decarbonization in the Built Environment. What is it, and the Pros and Cons?"
2023-11-21 | Online
ASHRAE Falcon Chapter invites you to attend a webinar about “Decarbonization in the Built Environment. What is it, and the Pros and Cons?”

Speaker:
Dr. Thomas Lawrence

Webinar Narrative :
The concept of decarbonizing our society is becoming a hot topic in global society. Within the built environment, the intent is to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings. This can be achieved in many ways, the first of which is reducing the overall energy consumption. The next, and more complicated, method is the determination of what the energy use and sources are for the building.
This topic is an overview of the overall ‘decarbonization’ process within society and for the built environment. It covers the background of why this is important, the external issues both political and technical (such as the carbon footprint of the electrical grid) and how building owners and designers can plan for a reduced carbon footprint in the coming years, along with the potential downsides to look out for.

Date & time: 28 -Nov -2023, 07:00 PM UAE time
