Carbon emissions from buildings are 39% of the problem. You are 100% of the solution.
Getting to Zero aims to accelerate action by state and local governments and building industry professionals to create a clean energy future for the built environment that uses less energy, is carbon neutral, creates job growth, and achieves the climate goals of the Paris Agreement.
This is the work of a community of people and organizations that are accelerating and broadening efforts to deliver zero energy and zero carbon buildings at scale, and helps policymakers achieve their climate commitments within the built environment. Efforts cover both residential and commercial sectors for new and existing buildings and engages leading policy makers, designers, building owners, systems manufacturers, and commercial real estate professionals to overcome the remaining barriers to net zero buildings the norm.
Getting to Zero Forum
The Getting to Zero Forum is the premier event dedicated to zero energy and zero carbon buildings. With a growing number of climate emergencies across the United States and around the world, there is no more important time than now for the Getting to Zero Forum. It brings together the world’s leading experts to share best practice approaches to reducing energy demand and decarbonization related to policy, program and projects.
