I2SL Annual Conference: Design for Decarbonization and Resiliency

The speakers will present design strategies and analysis used on recent projects to reduce carbon and increase resiliency, resulting in an 85% to 95% reduction in natural gas and greenhouse gas emissions to fully electric lab buildings. They will discuss strategies to make labs future-ready to address changing environmental regulations. Specific key issues that will be addressed include battery storage and renewables to manage peak electrical demands, design for grid resiliency, and envelope analysis. The presentation will highlight both public sector and private sector projects and discuss the different risk profiles of each client type.
