SEAN ARMSTRONG Managing Principal Redwood Energy INSULATION INTERSECTIONALITY: STRATEGIES FOR ADDRESSING HIGH GWP & TOXIC CHEMICALS IN INSULATION Effective insulation is imperative in achieving zero energy buildings. Insulation materials vary in their R-value, and also in contributions to global warming chemicals in the environment, and toxicity that impacts human health. Some insulation and air-sealing materials contain persistent, bioaccumulative, or toxic chemicals that are linked to cancer, asthma, reproductive or developmental toxicity, or endocrine disruption. These can pose high hazards to workers who manufacture and install these products. They may also endanger a building’s residents, communities adjacent to manufacturing facilities, and to the broader environment. This presentation will share information that can be used to evaluate, select, and write specifications for products that incorporate healthier insulation and air-sealing materials. BILL WALSH Founder & President of the Board Healthy Building Network ZED Talks: Energy 3:15 pm - 4:30 pm ZED Talks are quick, 18-minute presentations on a meaningful net zero-related topic. The Energy ZED Talk track will feature: MR408 A EXPLORING THE ZERO NET ENERGY CENTER, SAN LEANDRO, CA The Net Zero Energy Center located in the San Francisco Bay Area is proof that an existing building can be retrofitted to a net zero energy building. This is a case study about how the building was redesigned and retrofitted to be a net zero energy building. Energy and water savings will be discussed as well.
TAHSEENA KAHN President Energy Managers LLC CLASS A BUILDING ON ITS WAY TO ZNE This building was purchased by a sustainably-minded entrepreneur in 2017. He had sold his business and building in the North Valley and wanted to invest in a building that he could be proud of owning. However, the building had old technology, old lighting, and its HVAC hadn’t been maintained. This is a good example of how a building owner who is paying the utility bill can use PACE financing, new technologies (Energy monitoring, Solar PV, Pelican Thermostats, Evaporcool, new ducting)and be forward thinking (EV Charging Stations) and work to achieve Energy Star Certification.

The Carbon ZED Talk track will feature: MR408 B ZEROSKIN Building performance is now the key driver of design. Rapidly evolving climate conditions, building codes and urban
fabrics demand higher and higher performing designs that use less energy, minimize water consumption and reduce THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3 carbon emissions. What will the next generation of design professionals bring to the industry and how will they embrace change? How will they design buildings where high performance is the primary driver at an increasingly complex urban scale? Moving beyond basic design parameters like climate zone and sun path, new concerns and typologies emerge. ANTHONY BROWER LEED Fellow & Director of Sustainable Design Gensler EMBODIED CARBON: IT REALLY IS THAT BIG A DEAL It is important for professionals responsible for the built environment to be pushing for Net Zero buildings and the reduction of the operational carbon of a building; but that is not enough. The impact of embodied carbon overshadows operational carbon and it is often overlooked. During the presentation, participants will learn about the impacts of operational and embodied carbon and the strategies used to measure each. In addition, this presentation will discuss considerations around the life cycle impact of building and material reuse versus operational energy in creating a total carbon story using project case studies as examples. Embodied carbon NURA DARABI NIKA PARSA really is that big of a deal and we should be looking for ways to reduce the embodied carbon impact in our work. Associate Principal Integral Group Integral Group HYPER LOCAL, MICRO SCALE, DECARBONIZED, AND ANTI-FRAGILE Architect David Hertz FAIA will speak about his recent Water Abundance XPRIZE-winning technology to make point of use carbon sequestering high-density energy and atmospheric water systems for rapid deployment for self reliance, climate resilience, and disaster relief.

ZED Talks: Waste 3:15 pm - 4:30 pm ZED Talks are quick, 18-minute presentations on a meaningful net zero-related topic. The Waste ZED Talk track will feature: 150 A AN INTERCONNECTED APPROACH TO CARBON NEUTRALITY AND ZERO WASTE One subtle aspect of achieving Carbon Neutrality is the link between fossil fuels and the countless building materials and consumer goods required to construct our built environment. If California wishes to achieve true Carbon Neutrality within our lifetime, the building industry needs to significantly change the materials we construct with, and our methods for lifecycle based design. Decoupling our building materials from fossil fuels will not only help meet California’s climate goals, but will simultaneously address other major environmental crises related to waste and human health. Decarbonizing our material design pallete will drastically reduce our reliance KATHLEEN HETRICK SARA KINGMAN on petrochemical materials and feedstock, limit hazardous emissions, and improve public and environmental Sustainability Engineer Sustainability Engineer BuroHappold BuroHappold health while minimizing the amount of construction, demolition and operational waste destined for the landfill.

LA VS. THE BAY: HOW WORKING TOWARD ZERO WASTE IN THE SAME STATE CAN LOOK VERY DIFFERENT HDCCo is building two projects working towards net positive waste. Net Positive Waste is a Living Building Challenge Imperative that requires salvage and average recycling of 95% of construction waste. Working towards net positive waste has exposed weaknesses in CA waste disposal and recycling. Our experiences in the Bay Area and LA show these weaknesses differ regionally. We have had to tackle the challenge of source separation, and a volatile recycling market has exposed that a lot of the “recyclable” material generated isn’t actually recyclable at all. Our presentation will cover how even the state with the most progressive green policies struggles with recycling, how we are working JESSIE ALI FLYNN BUCKMASTER Sustainability Coordinator through these challenges, and how overcoming these obstacles can look very different in Northern vs. Southern CA. Sustainability Manager Hathaway Dinwiddie Hathaway Dinwiddie Construction Company Construction Company ACT FAST TO WASTE LESS: WEWORK’S JOURNEY TO CARBON NEUTRALITY AND SENDING LESS TO LANDFILLS WeWork is working towards reducing the impact from their global operations: reducing waste, increasing diversion from landfill and getting to carbon neutrality.

The Resiliency ZED Talk track will feature: 150 B PATH TO PLUS POSITIVE: ENERGY, WATER, WASTE Having completed the design, construction and currently operating the USGBC Project Haiti Orphanage, I’ll focus on the critical path items to bring this project to completion and meeting the off- grid development requirements for energy, water and waste in Pot Au Prince Haiti. I’ll walk through the design needs and key decisions that were made throughout the process. I’ll show current energy and water trends for the site that show a plus positive impact for the site, the occupants and the operational costs. ALLAN SKODOWSKI Principal Rivion RESILIENCY IN THE FACE OF CALIFORNIA’S WILDFIRES Last year, two devastating fires swept through parts of both Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. It’s well- acknowledged that wildfires are becoming more common in California due to climate change, but matters are made worse in California due to urban sprawl.
Once a fire breaks out, and when it’s time to rebuild, power becomes a concern. Join SoCalGas and Bloom Energy for an informative “ZED Talk” about the advantages of using natural gas microgrids in these situations. KRIS KIM ROSIE MAGANA Managing Director, Self-Generation Incentive Business Development Program Manager Bloom Energy SoCalGas BUILDING AS A CONSCIOUS ACT: FINDING OPPORTUNITY IN HEALTH, RESILIENCY, AND COMMUNITY 100,000 years ago, humans had a near extinction. From those 2,000 people came the billions we have today. Now we are facing a new threat of extinction. In the next decade, more than 6,000 cities, states, and provinces around the world will try to do something that has eluded humanity for 50 years: reduce their carbon emissions. But at our rate of urbanization, we’re building the equivalent of a city the size of New York every five weeks. Ideas that seem crazy today will seem sane in 10 years. In a world where we will “do anything” to end homelessness (except build homes); will “do anything” to end hunger (except provide food); and will “do anything” to cut emissions (except use less coal), we need new, bold solutions to address our built environment. In this talk, we’ll journey through an inspirational look at the ERIC COREY FREED global crises facing the world and a variety of ways to transform your business to adapt to a warmer, wetter world. Learn from our work Sustainability Disruptor with hundreds of municipalities, agencies, and companies to reduce their carbon, boost their performance, slash their operational expenses, Morrison Hershfield and provide healthy spaces for everyone. Learn how to link design to outcome and uncover new ways to expand your business. Design affects everything. The typeface in your child’s textbook affects their ability to comprehend the information. The ceiling height of your office affects the productivity of your employees. Imagine how you can use design to transform your business to improve outcomes in health, energy, carbon, and more. If you plan cities for cars & traffic, you get cars & traffic. If you plan for people & places, you get people & places.

The Evolving Technologies ZED Talk track will feature: 153 C TRANSPORTATION IN LOS ANGELES AND THE NEW AMERICAN DREAM After WWII, LA was thought of as the template for the future of American cities. With vast tracks of land available, Los Angeles would provide single-family homes for the masses and connect them with a vast network of freeways. Fast forward 60 years later and, while a generation of Americans were able to achieve some form of this Dream, the byproduct has caused urban sprawl, horrendous traffic and pervasive air pollution. Detracting quality of life. Modern urban planners and designers are looking at a new paradigm – multi-modal transportation systems, housing densification and green infrastructure. The New American Dream Think Tank will deconstruct how we got GARY LAI MOSHIK MAH here and articulate the way forward for LA within the lens of our transportation program.

CONSIDERING NET ZERO? QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK, LESSONS YOU SHOULD LEARN Since the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 11 and the National Electrical Contractors Association of L.A. (NECA) undertook what was the largest retrofit in the country four years ago, building sustainability is changing. Buildings are requiring larger electrical loads. Technologies, like building monitoring, are evolving rapidly. Time of use has changed and traditional power plants are closing. If you are retrofitting a high-performance building, what questions should you be asking? Looking back, what lessons have we learned that would make us more efficient today?
