We are pleased to partner with The Roux Institute at Northeastern University for their Start Summit on Decarbonizing the Built Environment. Our Executive Director, Eric Howard, will be a panelists in the opening information session from 5:00 - 7:30 PM at the Portland Museum of Art on Friday January 26th.
The Friday evening program in Portland is $10, the two-day program is $25, and the Saturday evening reception at Bowdoin is free.
The Challenge for this Summit is: "How might we develop innovative products and services that will significantly lower carbon emissions and/or capture carbon to reduce the environmental impact of our built environment. The construction industry is responsible for producing 40% of greenhouse gas emissions, so tackling climate change requires changes to how we design, build and maintain structures. With Maine's history as pioneers of high-performance buildings, we have an opportunity to lead this charge for retrofitting existing structures and new construction standards."
