Retrofit for Sustainability

Speaker: Chris Patterson CEM, LEED GA, Fitwell Ambassador, Automated Building Systems Technologist, National Healthcare Segment Lead, Schneider Electric

All buildings need to be more sustainable. To limit global warming by 2050 to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) -specified 1.5°C, every effort must be made to decarbonize buildings. We must become net-zero or risk irreversible environmental and economic damage. Buildings contribute to 37% of global CO 2 emissions, and a large percentage of the energy used by buildings is wasted, with many still using fossil fuels for loads like heating. It’s not enough to use sustainable practices and technology for new builds. Decarbonizing operations in existing buildings is no longer a “nice to have” but a “must do.” For building operators, retrofit projects are critical in the journey to decarbonize and meet net-zero targets. Champion the change management required to meet today’s global sustainability challenges by:

  • Embracing a net-zero vision
  • Providing strong operational guidance across your organization
  • Committing to strategizing and executing a plan.
