Description

Join us for an enlightening webinar that delves into the urgent need for climate change mitigation and adaptation in the buildings sector. The webinar will showcase practical tools for decarbonization and resilience and will bring together industry leaders who are undertaking this journey, for sharing their valuable experience and insights.

The two tools that will be showcased are innovations of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group. Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies (EDGE) is a metrics-based tool and a certification system that empowers developers, owners, and operators to quickly assess ways to incorporate green building standards and reduce their carbon footprint. The Building Resilience Index (BRI) helps assess and rate the ability of a building to withstand hazards in terms of retaining its physical integrity and the ability to continue operations.

The webinar will include a panel discussion with distinguished industry leaders from around the world who are driving decarbonization and resilience in their organizations. These experts represent a real estate asset manager undertaking decarbonization and resilience initiatives, a bank with green on-lending programs such as green mortgages and green construction loans, and a residential developer pushing the boundaries of low carbon homes.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into how these tools can be integrated into their projects to achieve environmental benefits and to secure financial advantages and market differentiation. They will also learn from the insights shared by experts from their real-world experiences.
